Media Do's and Do Not's Do Store cartridges in their protective cases Handle cartridges with great care Store cartridges vertically Align cartridges so the grooves interlock Inspect cartridges prior to each use Unload cartridges prior to powering down the drive Allow a 24-hour conditioning period before using new or stored cartridges. This allows tapes to reach the same operating temperature and humidity level as the drive. Do Not Touch the media or leader with bare fingers Use pens or pencils during cartridge inspection Drop cartridge Stack cartridges horizontally Disassemble cartridges Use adhesive labels Ship cartridges in drive Store near magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, monitors, electric motors, power supplies) Use a cartridge that fell from 3 ft. or higher Dell DLT, VS and SDLT Media Handbook Page 23
