Handling Cartridges Properly

To ensure the longest possible life for your cartridges, follow these

guidelines:

• Select a visible location to post procedures that describe proper

media handling.

• Ensure that anyone who handles cartridges has been properly trained

on all procedures.

• Do not drop or strike cartridges. Excessive shock could damage the

internal contents of cartridges or the casings themselves, rendering

the cartridges unusable.

• Do not expose cartridges to direct sunlight or sources of heat,

including portable heaters and heating ducts.

• Store cartridges in a location that is as free from dust as possible. Dust

can damage or degrade performance of tape media.

• For external long-term vaulted storage, store cartridges in a vertical

orientation.

• If cartridges must be stacked horizontally for moving and handling,

do not stack cartridges more than five high.

• The operating temperature range for Linear Tape Open (LTO)

cartridges is 50ºF to 113ºF (10ºC to 45ºC). The operating relative

humidity range is 10% to 80% (non-condensing). The storage

temperature range is 60.8ºF to 89.6ºF (16º to 32ºC). Temperatures

above 125.6ºF (52ºC) can cause permanent damage.

• If cartridges have been exposed to temperatures outside the ranges

specified above, stabilize the cartridges at room temperature for the

same amount of time they were exposed to extreme temperatures or

24 hours, whichever is less.

• Do not place cartridges near sources of electromagnetic energy or

strong magnetic fields, such as computer monitors, electric motors,

speakers, or x-ray equipment. Exposure to electromagnetic energy or

magnetic fields can destroy data and the embedded servo code

written on the media by the cartridge manufacturer, rendering the

cartridges unusable.

• Place barcode labels only in the designated slots on the cartridges.
