Write-Protection

When the tape is write-protected (read-only mode), data on the tape cannot be

overwritten. When the tape is write-enabled, you can write and store new data on

the tape.

For information on how to write protect a tape cartridge, refer to your tape drive

specifications sheet or documentation that is contained with the tape cartridge.

Tensioning Pass

When you insert a blank 1/4-inch tape cartridge or one that has been stored for a

long time, run it from one end to the other. This tensioning pass ensures an even

distribution of tension throughout the tape. See the Solaris Handbook for SMCC

Peripherals for specific instructions about tensioning a tape cartridge.

Handling and Storage

■ Avoid touching the surface of the tape.

■ Make sure the cartridge is at room temperature before using it.

■ Keep cartridges away from anything magnetic.

■ Keep cartridges out of direct sunlight and sources of heat, cold, or humidity.

■ Rewind a cartridge before storing.

■ Store cartridges in a dust-free environment, upright on edge rather than flat.

■ Maintain stable temperature for long term cartridge storage.

■ Maintain stable humidity (near 50%) for long term cartridge storage.
