Data Cartridge Inspection Procedure
SDLT 600 Product Manual 108
5 See figure 29 and check the reel lock openings to ensure the small
plastic tabs inside are partially visible. The reel locks are black. The
reel locks can break if you drop the data cartridge.
If the reel lock tabs
are not visible, do not use the data cartridge.

6 Look closely at the spring-loaded reel hub on the bottom of the data
cartridge. Verify that the hub is centered within the circular opening
in the data cartridge. Gently press the hub and be certain that it
springs back into place—centered within its circular opening and
completely flush with the plastic shell. Figure 30
shows a defective
spring-loaded reel hub. Do not use a data cartridge that fails this step.
