Care of Streaming Tape Cartridges

A cartridge tape can store all the data on your computer, so it is worth taking care of properly. In

addition to the tips for diskettes, above, remember the following:

•

Store cartridges with the write-protect switch in the SAFE position.

•

Keep magnets away from your tapes. Even weak magnets such as those in paper clip holders

can erase data on a cartridge tape.

•

Don't expose tapes to very high or low humidity (more than 80% or less than 20%).

•

Cartridge tapes should be acclimated to computer-room temperature and humidity conditions

before use. If the tape has been stored away from the computer, it should be returned to the

computer environment at least eight hours before use. If it has been in a different environment

for less than eight hours, it should be kept in the computer location for at least as many hours as

it was away from it.

Cleaning the AM-650

It is very important to clean the read/write heads of your AM-650 periodically. Tandberg recommends

you clean the drive once a week or every 8 hours of use, whichever comes first. They also suggest you

clean the heads after using a new tape for the first time, and that you do a complete tape wind/rewind

after cleaning.

When you need to clean your tape drive, use only a dry process cleaning cartridge designed for the AM-

650. One is available from Alpha Micro, part number PRA-00229-00. Follow the instructions on the

cleaning cartridge.
