LTO Cartridge Specifications

If during storage and/or transportation a cartridge has been exposed to conditions outside the specified values, it must be conditioned before use in the operating environment. The conditioning shall be exposure to the operating environment for a time equal to, or greater than, the time away from the operating environment, up to a maximum of 24 hours. There shall be no deposit of moisture anywhere on or in the cartridge.

The stray magnetic field at any point on the tape shall not exceed 4000 A/m.

Each Ultrium cartridge has 4 Kbytes of nonvolatile memory:

•3 Kbytes are used to store tape-directory and hardware specific information.

•1 Kbyte is available for application and OEM use.

The cartridge memory is powered, read, and written to via a radio- frequency link.

After 5,000 load/unload cycles, replace the cartridge to insure data integrity.
