Applying Cartridge Labels
The LSM uses DLTtape IV or IIIXT cartridges for data, plus diagnostic and
cleaning cartridges.
Different types of data cartridges are distinguished by a small
“E” or “D” next to the last number in the VOLSER.
Cleaning and diagnostic
cartridges are distinguished by “CLN” or “DG” in the prefix in the VOLSER.
The
correct labeling follows:
S
DLTtape IV data cartridges should be labeled with a “D” label.
S
DLTtape IIIXT data cartridges should be labeled with an “E” label.
S
Cleaning cartridges should be labeled with a “CLN” label.
S
Diagnostic cartridges should be labeled with a “DG” label.
Note:
Diagnostic cartridges are physically the same as data cartridges.
The LSM
software requires the “DG” label before it will use a cartridge for
diagnostic routines.
One diagnostic cartridge is supplied with the LSM.
The operator is responsible for applying labels correctly as indicated above and in
Figure 4–2.
Cartridge surfaces should be clean and at room temperature when
applying labels.
Labels can be inserted into the recessed area, or the backing can
be peeled away to expose the adhesive, if a more permanent application is desired.
Do not place labels anywhere but in the recessed VOLSER slot, and make sure that
the edges do not curl up, which might cause misreading or sticking.
