Verify that the two reel lock levers are in position: one is located on the

same surface as the cartridge leader door, the other is located on the

bottom of the cartridge near the front left-hand corner. Both reel locks

should be visible and in the same position as a cartridge that has not

been dropped.

Verify that the hub reel is flush with the case surface. If the hub reel is

compressed it could become misaligned.

Archival Guidelines

Ensure the reliability of archived cartridges that contain recorded data by

storing them in a clean, controlled environment with the following conditions:

■

Temperature 64°F to 82°F (18°C to 28°C)

■

Relative Humidity: 40% to 60% non-condensing

■

The above environment also ensures maximum shelf life of cartridges

that do not yet contain data

Unrecorded (blank) cartridges can be stored under the following conditions:

■

Temperature 61°F to 89°F (16°C to 32°C)

■

Relative Humidity: 20% to 80% non-condensing
