Tape Drives and Cartridges F-3 I The ambient operating environment for the tape cartridge is: Temperature: 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C) 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. Checking a Cartridge for Damage If a cartridge has been dropped or if you have other reason to believe it might be damaged, inspect it carefully before inserting it into the MiniLibrary system. Inspect the cartridge as follows: 1. Shake the cartridge and listen for any sound of a broken part (such as a reel lock). Any rattling noise is an indication that the cartridge has been damaged and must not be used. 2. Look at the plastic case carefully for any sign of distortion, bending or cracks. 3. Open the spring-loaded cartridge door by releasing the slide lever 1 at the door hinge until you see the cartridge (takeup) leader 2 (Figure F-1).
