Data Cartridge Inspection Procedure

Be certain you place the unused data cartridge labels in the protective box so that you do not inadvertently pick them up along with the data cartridge during subsequent usage. A static electricity charge on a data cartridge may cause a label to cling to the data cartridge. A label that is accidentally inserted into the tape drive along with a data cartridge can prevent the hub reel and drive gear from meshing.

Follow all data cartridge handling instructions that accompany your data cartridges or tape drive.

Note: Always remove the data cartridge from the drive prior to powering down the drive. This ensures that the file system stored on the tape is consistent and that the tape in the tape path is not damaged when the unit is powered up.

Data Cartridge Inspection Procedure

Follow the Visual Mechanical Inspection (VMI) procedures described in this subsection. These steps will help you identify any potential data cartridge problems, and will prevent accidental loss of data or damage to your tape drive.

You should do an inspection if any of these conditions occur:

As a general practice whenever you change or load a new data cartridge.

If a data cartridge is dropped or subjected to some hard physical shock.

If the SDLT 600A tape drive becomes inoperable after loading a data cartridge.

If you receive a shipment of data cartridges that show any sign of shipping damage.

Follow these steps to visually inspect a Super DLTtape II data cartridge:
