SDLT Media When inspecting an SDLT media cartridge refer to the following diagrams to check the leader buckles on the media. Figure 29 shows a good cartridge. Figure 29 Good SDLT Leader Buckles Tests have shown that dropping the media causes excessive stress to the spring-loaded cartridge hub. This stress can pull the tape media further into the media cartridge and bend the leader buckles. Refer to Figure 30 to identify bentin leader buckles. Figure 30 SDLT Bent-In Leader Buckles Media with bent-in leader buckles can cause the tape drive to drop the leader when trying to load the media into the take-up reel.
