Packing the Tape Drive
To pack the tape drive for shipment, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the original shipping carton or contact your
vendor to receive a new one.
2. Assemble the carton and tape it shut at the bottom
with two-inch (51 mm) packing tape.
3. Place each tape drive in an antistatic bag. Tape the bag
shut.
4. Place the bottom packing cushion in the carton,
with the fitted area for the drive or drives facing up.
5. If you are shipping a single drive, pack the drive
in the single-pack shipping carton as shown in
Figure 12.
If you are shipping three or more drives, refer to
Figure 13 and place three, four, or five drives in the
bottom packing cushion of the multi-pack carton as
follows:
Three drives: use slots 1, 3, and 5.
Four drives: use slots 1, 2, 4, and 5.
Place the top packing cushion over the drives.
6. Close the carton and tape the top seam so that the
carton is completely closed.
