Specifications
for
Tape
Cartridges
Before
you
use
a
tape
cartridge,
acclimate
it
to
the
operating
environment
for
a
minimum
of
24
hours
or
the
time
necessary
to
prevent
condensation
in
the
drive
(the
time
will
vary,
depending
on
the
environmental
extremes
to
which
the
cartridge
was
exposed).
The
best
storage
container
for
the
cartridges
(until
they
are
opened)
is
the
original
shipping
container.
The
plastic
wrapping
prevents
dirt
from
accumulating
on
the
cartridges
and
partially
protects
them
from
humidity
changes.
When
you
ship
a
cartridge,
place
it
in
its
jewel
case
or
in
a
sealed,
moisture-proof
bag
to
protect
it
from
moisture,
contaminants,
and
physical
damage.
Ship
the
cartridge
in
a
shipping
container
that
has
enough
packing
material
to
cushion
the
cartridge
and
prevent
it
from
moving
within
the
container.

Disposing
of
Tape
Cartridges
Under
the
current
rules
of
the
U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA),
regulation
40CFR261,
the
LTO
Ultrium
Tape
Cartridge
is
classified
as
non-hazardous
waste.
As
such,
it
may
be
disposed
of
in
the
same
way
as
normal
office
trash.
These
regulations
are
amended
from
time
to
time,
and
you
should
review
them
at
the
time
of
disposal.
If
your
local,
state,
country
(non-U.S.A.),
or
regional
regulations
are
more
restrictive
than
EPA
40CFR261,
you
must
review
them
before
you
dispose
of
a
cartridge.
Contact
your
account
representative
for
information
about
the
materials
that
are
in
the
cartridge.
If
a
tape
cartridge
must
be
disposed
of
in
a
secure
manner,
you
can
erase
the
data
on
the
cartridge
by
using
a
high-energy
ac
degausser
(use
a
minimum
of
1200
oersted
peak
field
over
the
entire
space
that
the
cartridge
occupies).
Degaussing
makes
the
cartridge
unusable.
If
you
burn
the
cartridge
and
tape,
ensure
that
the
incineration
complies
with
all
applicable
regulations.
