Maintaining 9840 Cartridges

Make it a practice to visually inspect your tape cartridges when loading or removing them from your tape library. Taking a few minutes to check the condition of your cartridges will lower the risk of repeated failures and help ensure uninterrupted backup.

For general precautions when using tape cartridges, see page 144. In addition, do not apply more than one label onto the tape cartridge, as extra labels may cause cartridges to jam in the tape drive.
