This may dislodge and/or damage internal components. s Avoid unnecessary opening of the cartridge door; this may expose the tape to contamination or physical damage. s Do not allow direct contact with tape or the tape loader. Even dust or natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape performance. s Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight. s Maintain a clean operating, working, and storage environment. s Do no place cartridges on or near devices that may produce a magnetic field, such as computer terminals, motors, and video or x-ray equipment. Such exposure can alter or erase data on the tape. s Do not attempt to remove a cartridge from the drive unless the drive indicator (the green LED) is illuminated. Overiding the drive handle will cause damage to both the media cartridge and the drive. s The ambient operating environment for the tape cartridge is: q Temperature: 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) q Relative Humidity: 20% to 80% (non-condensing) If Storage and/or transportation of a tape cartridge has exposed it to conditions outside the ambient values above, allow the cartridge to remain unused in its operating environment for 24 hours before using it.

■
Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or other container that exposes
them to unnecessary physical shock.
■
Store each cartridge in its protective case until you select it for use in a
tape drive or library.
■
Do not drop or bump the cartridge. This may dislodge and/or damage
internal components.
■
Avoid unnecessary opening of the cartridge door; this may expose the
tape to contamination or physical damage.
■
Do not allow direct contact with tape or the tape loader. Even dust or
natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape performance.
■
Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
■
Maintain a clean operating, working, and storage environment.
■
Do no place cartridges on or near devices that may produce a magnetic
field, such as computer terminals, motors, and video or x-ray equipment.
Such exposure can alter or erase data on the tape.
■
Do not attempt to remove a cartridge from the drive unless the drive
indicator (the green LED) is illuminated. Overiding the drive handle will
cause damage to both the media cartridge and the drive.
■
The ambient operating environment for the tape cartridge is:
q
Temperature: 10
°
C to 40
°
C (50
°
F to 104
°
F)
q
Relative Humidity: 20% to 80% (non-condensing)
If Storage and/or transportation of a tape cartridge has exposed it to conditions
outside the ambient values above, allow the cartridge to remain unused in its
operating environment for 24 hours before using it.
