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.
