Operating and Storage Environment
5. Do not leave cartridges in direct sunlight or in places where magnetic fields are
present (for example, under telephones, next to monitors or near transformers).
6. Do not drop cartridges or handle them roughly.
7. Stick labels onto the label area only.
8. Do not bulk erase (or degauss) Ultrium format cartridges because this will render
them unusable.
Operating and Storage Environment
To prevent condensation and for long life, the cartridge should only be operated or
stored as follows:
!
Operation: 10° C to 45° C (50° F to 113° F)
!
Day-to-day storage (in plastic container): 16° C to 32° C (60° F to 90° F)
!
Non-condensing relative humidity: 10% to 80% (operating), 20% to 60% (non-
operating)
!
Wet bulb temperature should not exceed 26° C (79° F)
Tapes intended for long-term storage should be stored in the plastic containers, at
temperatures between 5° C and 23° C (41° F and 73° F) and 20% to 60% relative
humidity.
Magazines
The device has removable magazines. Magazine access is password protected. For
safety reasons, the robotic motion is stopped when a magazine is removed.
The magazines can be released using the operator control panel (OCP), the remote
management interface (RMI), or by a manual release. When possible, release the
magazine using the OCP or RMI. The magazine must only be removed manually when
the OCP or RMI process has failed, or the device no longer has power.
The slot numbering scheme for the 2U is shown in Figure 4-35 on page 4-53.
IMPORTANT: To manually release a magazine, see Releasing the Magazines Manually on
page 5-8. However, this manual process should only be used if the magazine cannot be
released using the operator control panel or the remote management interface.
