Gently shake the cartridge. Listen for rattling or loose pieces. • Cartridge Door: Ensure that the door is moveable and that the spring is present. • Write Protect Switch: Move the switch. It should snap into write-protected mode and write- enabled mode. • Cartridge Leader: Gently inspect the cartridge leader to verify that it has not been damaged and is in the correct position. • DLTtape Cartridges: Check the height of the leader to ensure that the loop is sticking up approximately 3/16 inch or 4 mm. Ensure that the door operates. DLT tape leader loop should be visible and undamaged. • Super DLTtape Cartridges: Check that the Super DLTtape leader buckle aligns with cartridge edge and metal pin is not bent. NOTE: When inspecting the cartridge leader do not use anything that could leave contamination, such as a pen or pencil. Figure 1-18.
