Handling DLTtape Cartridges 3
Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case
when it is not in the library.
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 more than five cartridges on top of each other.
Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the
storage of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card
supplied with each cartridge.
When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure
you stand each tape cartridge vertically.
