D.1 TAPE CARTRIDGE HANDLING GUIDELINES

The tape drive can use one of the following types of DLTtape cartridge:

DLTtape III, 1200 feet/cartridge (medium dark gray plastic)

DLTtape IIIxt, 1800 feet/cartridge (white plastic)

DLTtape IV, 1800 feet/cartridge (charcoal plastic)

Ensure that your tape backup solution performs reliably by following the general handling guidelines described in this subsection.

HANDLING GUIDELINES

Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it is not in the tape drive.

When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient the cases so that the grooves in the cases interlock. This prevents the cases from slipping apart and falling.

Never stack the tape cartridges in a stack of more than five.
