Leader pin Figure 15- LTO Ultrium Data Cartridge Figure 16- Correct leader pin location 13.2 Perform a Thorough Inspection • Inspect the cartridge's packaging to determine potential rough handling. • When inspecting a cartridge, open only the cartridge door. Do not open any other part of the cartridge case. The upper and lower parts of the case are held together with screws; separating them destroys the usefulness of the cartridge. While the door is open check that the leader pin is properly seated. If the cartridge has been dropped it might be possible that the pin has dropped inside the cartridge completely. Best practice is to open the door and check the pin is properly seated before each use. See figure 16. • Inspect the cartridge for damage before using or storing it. Dell LTO Media Handbook Page 24
