Internal DLT (Optional)
The standard service life (number of uses) of a cartridge used in an internal DLT is 2000 times. If the number
of uses exceeds 2000, replace the cartridge with a new one.
To minimize dew condensation, note the following:
- Use cartridges in a temperature range of 10 to 35°C and a relative humidity range of 20 to 80%.
Storecartridges containing data in a temperature range of 16 to 32°C.
- If the cartridge to be used has been placed somewhere that exceeds the allowable temperature range, leave
it at ordinary room temperature at least two hours before use.
Internal DLTs format an unused cartridge when it is inserted into the drive. The formatting mode for an internal
DLT differs from that for an internal DLT because of difference in recording density. When you want to use a
cartridge on both types of drives, use the internal DLT for formatting the cartridge before use (the recording
density is 20GB/40GB (uncompressed/compressed).
Extended Board
Check that the slot connectors are engaged properly, then insert an extended board. Forcible insertion with the slot
connectors not engaged could cause pins to be bent or broken.
Other Option Devices
Use extreme care to protect expansion devices from shock (hitting or falling on hard material). Being precision
devices, expansion devices are very susceptible to shock.
Use of a cartridge with its service life exhausted could cause a drive failure or data destruction.
While not in use, remove the cartridge from the equipment. If you leave the cartridge inserted, its
service life will be shortened.
