Cartridge Information

This chapter describes how to handle, inspect, and maintain cartridges.

Cartridge Requirements

Cartridges must meet specifications defined in American National Standard Magnetic Tape and Cartridge for Information Interchange.

Refer to your drive vendor’s publication and Web site for specific cartridge requirements and specifications.

Colored cartridges are approved only if the measured reflection density is greater than

0.1as measured by an X-rite 404G color reflection densitometer. For more information about colored cartridges, contact your Sun StorageTek representative.

Colored measurements are:

Bandwidth	ANSI Status T Wide band (380 to 780 nm)

Measuring range	Density (0.00 to 2.50) D

Accuracy	±0.02 D

Repeatability	±0.01 D

Aperture diameter	3.4 mm (0.13in.)

For more information about colored cartridges, contact your Sun StorageTek representative.

AES uses the Rijndael algorithm, officially replacing the Triple DES Method. AES encryption can be done in one pass instead of three and its key size is greater than Triple Desís 168 bits. One of two privacy encryption protocols, AES is a stronger form of encryption than DES see also “Data Encryption Standard”.
