Tape Drives
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 5
Tape Drives
Scalar 50 tape libraries are equipped with either SCSI or native Fibre
Channel tape drives. SCSI buses are SCSI-2 fast/wide (8/16 bit), Ultra 3
SCSI, Ultra 160, or Ultra 320 SCSI, depending on the drives installed.
LVD SCSI configurations have a maximum allowable bus length of 12
meters. To determine the cable length of the bus, measure the lengths of
the SCSI cables connecting each device to that bus and add those lengths
together. To that total length, add 12.25 inches (31.10 cm) for the internal
SCSI cable length of each SCSI tape drive.
Tape Drive Types 1The Scalar 50 tape library support the following tape drives:
• Quantum DLT-S4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• Quantum Half-Height LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-3 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP LTO-4 (SCSI and Native Fibre Channel)
• HP Half-Height LTO-4 (SAS)
Scalar 50 library can support mixed media types, mixed interface types
(Fibre Channel and SCSI) as well as mixed form factors within the same
library. Example: The Scalar 50 can contain both LTO full height drives
with LTO half-height drives in the same library.
Refer to the following tables for tape drive performance characteristics.
Both SDLT and LTO tape drive can exist in the same library as long as the
appropriate magazines are installed in the library.

DLTSage™ Tape Security
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 13
DLTSage™ Tape Security
The Scalar tape library with DLT-S4 tape drives are capable of utilizing
DLTSage Tape security. DLTSage Tape Security is a unique solution
designed to prevent unauthorized access to tape cartridges which is
particularly valuable when protecting tapes that are transported offsite.
DLTSage Tape Security is a firmware feature designed into the DLT-S4
tape drive which uses an electronic key to prevent or allow reading and
writing of data on to a tape cartridge. This key is managed through the
remote management pages of the Scalar 50 tape library (see chapter 3,
“Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management,”). DLTSage Tape Security is
available at no additional cost as an integrated feature in of the DLT-S4
tape drive and Scalar 50 tape library.
Mixed Media Support
The Scalar 50 tape library is capable of supporting mixed media (SDLT
and LTO media) and a mixture of tape drives in the same library frame.
You must have at least one magazine type (SDLT or LTO) for each tape
drive type (SDLT or LTO).
Capacity on Demand
Capacity on demand provides the ability to upgrade the storage capacity
of a library by using a software capacity key that grants access to
additional magazine slots. The Scalar 50 library has two capacity levels
(see table 7):
•Level 1 - default capacity (four magazine columns starting with the
three columns of the left-hand magazine and including the back
column of the right-hand magazine)
•Level 2 - full capacity (all six columns of the left and right magazines
and all physical slots in the system including stacked libraries)
Chapter 1 Library Description
Capacity on Demand

Contact your Quantum Sales representative to acquire additional license
keys.
Enabling Capacity on
Demand 1If your Quantum Scalar 50 has not already been enabled with the full slot
capacity, you must complete the following procedure:
1Retrieve and record the Scalar 50 library serial number.
2Access the COD website and follow the instructions by providing the
Library serial number to obtain your new License Key for your
additional capacity purchase.
The COD website URL is: www.quantum.com/capacity/scalar50.
3Record your new License Key and then install it into the Library to
increase your slot capacity (see Library on page 101 for more
information on enabling capacity on demand).
Licensed Capacity (Slot Count)
Capacity Level LTO SDLT
Level 1 26 22
Level 2 38 32
Note: Partitioning cannot be used unless all libraries are at FULL
capacity.
Note: If your libraries are in a stacked configuration, all libraries
must be at FULL capacity. PX502 libraries are automatically at
full capacity.
Chapter 1 Library Description
Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 15
Library Scalability (Stacked Configurations)
The Scalar 50 library modules can be used as stand-alone libraries, or
combined with other Scalar 50 library modules in a standard 19-inch rack
to form a larger library system (called a multiple library stack). The
multiple library or stacked configuration appears as a single large
capacity library (or multiple libraries if partitioned) to the host (see
figure 7).
Multiple Library Stack
Requirements 1To ensure the proper operation of your multiple library stack, review the
following list of multiple library stack requirements:
• Multiple library stacks that contain a Scalar 50 can NOT exceed two
library cabinets.
• The Scalar 50 must be the Master library in a multiple library stack
containing PX502 libraries.
• The Master library must always be in the bottom most position in the
library stack.
• If a Scalar 50 is stacked with PX502 libraries, the PX502 can NOT
contain an HP LTO-2 tape drive or a FC1202 Fibre Channel bridge.
These devices are not supported by Scalar 50.
• All Scalar 50 libraries must have full capacity enabled.
• A library that contains SAS drives cannot be shared with SCSI or
Fibre Channel libraries.
• If your Scalar 50 is not already enabled with full slot capacity, you
must initially configure the Scalar 50 libraries and enable Full
capacity with a Capacity Key before configuring the cabinets as
Master and Slave libraries (see Library on page 125 for more Capacity
Key information).

Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 22
3Place cartridges (right side up) in the fixed slots and magazines:
aOpen the library doors (see “Library Operations” on page 45 to
open the library doors).
bRemove the magazines (see “Library Operations” on page 45 to
release the magazines).
cLoad the tape cartridges in the magazines and fixed bins. It is
recommended to start loading tape cartridges in magazine 1, bin
0000 (see figure 2 on page 3 and figure 3 on page 4 for magazine
and bin locations).
Warning: Do NOT reach into the library to load tape cartridges
into the fixed bins. Use the Move page located on the
Operations tab from the remote management pages
(see chapter 3 on page 63) to move tape cartridges
from the magazines into the fixed bins.
dReplace the magazines in the library.
eClose the library doors.
Caution: Placing the cartridges in the bins upside down can
cause damage to the library (see figure 11 for SDLT
cartridges and figure 12 for LTO cartridges).
Caution: Handle tape cartridges with care. Do not drop or bang
them, or place them near sources of electromagnetic
interference. Rough handling can displace the tape
leader, making the cartridge unusable and potentially
hazardous to the tape drives. If a tape is dropped,
discard and replace with a new tape. Loss of data
could result from damaged tape cartridges inserted in
tape drives.
Note: You have approximately 10 seconds to open the doors and
remove the magazines. If you did not complete the
operation, repeat the steps.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 23
Taking ESD Precautions 2Components within the Scalar 50 contain static-sensitive parts. To
prevent damage to these parts while performing installation,
maintenance, or replacement procedures, observe the following
precautions:
• Keep the cabinet turned off during all installation, maintenance, and
replacement procedures.
• Keep the cabinet power cord connected to a grounded power outlet
except when working with AC electrical components.
Warning: Avoid contact with the power supplies, EMI filter, and all
other AC electrical components while the cabinet is
connected to a power outlet.
Unplug all AC cords to remove power from equipment.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap when touching internal cabinet
components. To use the wrist strap properly, place the band around
your wrist and attach the clip to the cabinet frame. Keep the strap on
until you are ready to close the cabinet doors.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their shipping containers until ready for
installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on any metal surface. If you need to
put down a static-sensitive part, place it inside its protective shipping
bag or on a grounded antistatic mat.
• Avoid direct contact with static-sensitive parts. Avoid touching
connectors and discrete components.
• Close cabinet door and access panel when not working on the
cabinet.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 24
• Be very careful when installing the cabinet or handling components
in dry climates or environments where cold weather heating is used.
Environments such as these with lower relative humidity have
greater potential to produce static electricity.
SDLT Cartridges 2The following section shows you how to label SDLT tape cartridges, as
well as setting the write-protect switch and proper orientation.
Labeling 2
The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
The SDLT cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNS#). The
first six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of
three alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters
allow each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters
are called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
•V4 = DLT-V4
• S1 = SDLT 220
• S2 = SDLT 320
• S3 = SDLT 600
•S4 = DLT-S4
Note: In environments with high potential for static electricity,
take additional precautions such as the use of an antistatic
smock or a grounded antistatic mat.
Note: Quantum highly recommends using barcode labels provided
by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your
drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges
for newer drive types.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 25
Place the label in the slide-in slot on the front of the cartridge (see
figure 10).
Figure 10 Inserting a Barcode
Label (SDLT)
Slide-in slot
Setting the Write-Protect Switch 2
Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
figure 11. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the
cartridge (write-enabled) or whether data on the cartridge is protected
from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Set the write-protect
switch to enabled when inserting new cartridges into the library. Set the
write-protect switch to protected archiving tape cartridges.
Note: You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.
Note: Only use barcode labels that have been designed for
cartridges. Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere
except the slide-in slot.

in the barcode labeling and write-protect switch setting (see figure 12).
Note: Quantum highly recommends using barcode labels provided
by Quantum. Also, use the appropriate barcode labels for your
drive type. Do not use older barcode labels on tape cartridges
for newer drive types.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Installing Tape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 27
Labeling 2
The Scalar 50 is a multi-media library, meaning multiple drive and tape
cartridge types can be present in a single library. Barcode labels are
attached to each tape cartridge to differentiate the different tape cartridge
types (SDLT, LTO, and cleaning cartridges).
The LTO cartridge label has eight characters (e.g. AAANNNL#). The first
six characters are called the volume identifier which is made up of three
alpha characters and three numeric characters. These characters allow
each cartridge to have a unique identifier. The last two characters are
called the media identifier and indicate the following media types:
• L1 = LTO generation 1 (LTO)
• L2 = LTO generation 2 (LTO-2)
• L3 = LTO generation 3 (LTO-3)
• L4 = LTO generation 4 (LTO-4)
Adhesive-backed barcode labels are used on LTO tape cartridges. Refer
to figure 12 for proper label placement, write protection settings and
insertion orientation.
Note: You cannot choose the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.

Caution: LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to the fact
that it uses "magnetic servos." Do not attempt to degauss
LTO tape drive media. If this media is degaussed, it will
no longer work.
Cleaning Cartridges 2Cleaning cartridges are used when a tape drive within the library
requires cleaning. When Autoclean is enabled (either through the OCP or
remote management screens), the library will automatically clean the
tape drive when needed. A fixed bin (see figure 2 on page 3 and figure 3
on page 4 for bin locations) is generally used to store a cleaning cartridge,
however, the cartridge can be placed anywhere in the library. When the
library completes the inventory, the system stores the cleaning cartridge
location so it will be available when a tape drive requires cleaning.
Note: You must attach the appropriate cleaning cartridge barcode
label (SDLT or LTO) to the cleaning cartridge or the library
will mark it as unrecognizable media.

SDLT and LTO cleaning cartridge labels begin with CLN (see figure 13
for SDLT and figure 14 for LTO):
• SDLT cleaning cartridge labels are in the following format:

Load Port Configuration
Load ports are used to import or export tape cartridges from the library.
When configured as a load port, your backup application will
automatically use these bins when exporting or importing tape
cartridges. The bottom left and right magazines in each library can be
configured to provide the following load port elements:
Caution: When placing tape cartridges in the load port slots, ensure
that the tape cartridges are completely in the slot before
sliding the magazine back into the library.
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Load Port Configuration
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 61
• Single column load port (5 slots SDLT/6 slots LTO)
• Magazine load port (15 slots SDLT/18 Slots LTO)
Tech Tip: Deciding between a single column and an entire
magazines as a load port depends on the amount of tape
cartridges you typically import/export from the library. If
you generally import or export small numbers of tape
cartridges to and from the library, a single column should
be sufficient. If you import or export large numbers of
tape cartridges, an entire magazine as a load port would
be beneficial.
Each of the load ports are configured independently so that one load port
can be configured as a column and the other load port can be configured
as a column or as a magazine.
When set for a single column load port, the magazine is physically
restricted to allow access to the first column in the magazine only.
When set for a 15-slot load port, the entire magazine can be removed (the
same for a 18-slot LTO magazine).
The load port option is set using the operator control panel Setup menu.
The settings are listed in table 16 and illustrated in figure 45.
Table 16 Import/Export Option
Settings Setting Manual Access SCSI Element
None None Storage element
Single column Single column Import/Export element
Magazine Entire magazine Import/Export element
Chapter 2 Basic Library Operations
Load Port Configuration
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 62
Figure 45 Load Port Settings
Single column load port
Full magazine load port
Mag 1 Mag 1
Enabling load ports will reduce the number of storage elements in the
library. For example, if the library is set to the default capacity (left
magazine only) and a single column is set aside as a load port, the storage
capacity is reduced by the number of slots in that first column. The
number of storage slots would be reduced by five for an SDLT magazine
and six slots in a LTO magazine.

3Quantum Scalar 50 Remote
Management
The Quantum Scalar 50 library utilizes a web-based interface which
allows you to configure and manage the library from a remote
workstation on the same network. The Quantum Scalar 50 library is
managed through the following web pages (accessible using Internet
browser software installed on the host computer):
•Status allows you to view the following: hardware status, event logs,
and statistics
•Operations allows you to perform cabinet operations remotely such
as cartridge movement and inventory requests and drive operations
•Setup allows you to setup cabinet identification, user information,
SCSI IDs, network information, events, date and time information,
partitioning, secure tape, and tape encryption information.
•Utilities allows the user to run cabinet utilities remotely.
•Reference links to related sites.
•Logout allows the user to log out of the library remote management
pages.

installed, only two partitions would be possible in this library.
Partitioning Requirements 3
Only a Scalar 50 library with a Native Fibre Channel interface can support
partitioning. You must also have a Fibre Channel switch available to
connect to the library Fibre Channel SCB, Fibre Channel hosts, and native
Fibre Channel tape drives. If you do not have a Fibre Channel switch
available, the library is limited to one partition (see figure 70).
Figure 70 Native Fibre
Channel Partition Example
In the example shown in figure 70, you must zone the Fibre Channel
switch as follows:
•Partition #1: Zone 1 must have the media changer (port 1), tape drive
1 (port 2) and host 1 (port 4).
Note: Partitioning cannot be used unless all libraries are at FULL
capacity. See “Library” on page 125 for more capacity key
information.
Chapter 3 Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management
Setup
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 104
•Partition #2: Zone 2 must have the media changer (port 1), tape drive
2 (port 2) and host 2 (port 5).
Zoning the Fibre Channel switch as described above will allow the host to
view only the tape drive for it’s specific partition. The media changer is
visible to both partitions and hosts.
Scalar 50 Configurations that do NOT Support Partitioning 3
The following Scalar 50 configurations do NOT support partitioning:
•Scalar 50 Libraries Containing SAS Tape Drives - a library containing a
HP LTO-4 Half Height tape drive cannot be partitioned.
•Native Parallel SCSI interface - a parallel SCSI library cannot support
partitioning.
•iSCSI bridged Parallel SCSI - a parallel library with a TC2201 iSCSI
bridge cannot support partitioning.
•Native Fibre Channel without a switch - a Native Fibre Channel library
that does not have a Fibre Channel switch cannot support
partitioning.
•Scalar 50 with Level 1 Capacity - A default capacity library with only
four magazine columns available cannot be partitioned. You must
have FULL capacity to partition the library.

Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
This section provides information on “Best Practices” when
implementing DLTSage Tape Security and also instructions for migrating
your security keys from one library to another.
For more information on implementing DLTSage Tape Security with
your specific library, refer to the following Quick Start Guides provided
on the documentation CD included in the library accessory kit:
•Scalar 50 DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81627
•PX720 DLTSage Tape Security Quick Start Guide PN 81-81588
Best Practices 3When implementing DLTSage Tape Security in your tape library, there
are several “Best Practices” or guidelines to consider:
• The encryption key file should be saved off of the library at least once
a month or whenever a large amount of tapes is removed/added to
the library. It is a good idea to use the date in the file name of the
backup file.
• In the library remote management pages, the secure key and tape
cartridge barcode associations are displayed when you click Find in
the Assign Secure Key to Cartridge section without a specific barcode
entered in the barcode edit box. You should save this file off of the
library so the secure key and barcode associations are available in
case of disaster recovery or when moving the tapes from one library
to another. This also makes it easy to copy and paste the barcode
numbers into the PX720 and Scalar 50 remote management pages
when associating barcodes with secure keys.
• Secure key and encryption password information should NOT be
stored in unsecured areas.
Key Migration Scenarios3The following examples describe two key migration scenarios:
•Disaster Recovery Scenario
•Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario
Chapter 3 Quantum Scalar 50 Remote Management
Secure Key Best Practices and Tape Migration
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 123
Disaster Recovery Scenario 3
In the disaster recovery scenario, the original library is inoperable, but
secure keys and barcode associations have been saved off of the system
and are available on the network.
1Remove the tape cartridges and place them in another tape security
enabled library.
2Follow the steps listed below (beginning with step 2) to import
cartridges and associate barcodes with secure keys.
Tape Cartridge Migration Scenario 3
In this tape cartridge migration example, tape cartridges have been
secured in one tape library (PX720 or Scalar 50) and you want to move
them into another PX720 or Scalar 50 library and access them:
1On the original library containing the cartridges:
aAccess the library remote management screens.
bIn the Backup Secure Key file section, backup the secure key file.
This encrypted file contains all of the secure keys and bar code
associations in the original library. Once you click Save as... you
must right-click on the download link to save the file local
directory. This file must be located on a network resource that is
available to the new library.
cExport the tape cartridges from the library.
2On the new library:
aImport the tape cartridges into the new library.
bUpload the secure key file from the original library:
• If you are uploading a backup file from a PX720 to a Scalar 50
library, you must enter the serial number of the original
PX720 in the Encryption Key field, browse to the backup file,
and click Upload.
• If you are uploading a file from a Scalar 50 library to a PX720,

5Troubleshooting
This chapter describes problems you may encounter during the setup
and operation of the Quantum Scalar 50 library. Corrective information
is provided to help you resolve the problems.
Several of these problems produce error messages on the OCP called
events (refer to chapter 4).
This chapter is divided into the following sections:
•Common Problems and Solutions
•Interpreting System LED Status
Common Problems and Solutions
The troubleshooting information in this section covers the following
topics:
•Start-up Problems
•OCP Problems
•Robotics (Hand) Problems
•Operating Problems
Chapter 5 Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 165
Start-up Problems 5Table 31 describes corrective actions for problems which occur during
start-up.
Table 31 Start-up Problems Problem Corrective Action
The library does not
power on.
• Make sure all power cords are connected to
grounded electrical outlet.
• Press the power button located on the front
of the library.
The library or tape
drives do not
respond on the SCSI
bus.
Make sure each SCSI device on the same SCSI
bus has a unique address and the last device is
properly terminated.
During initialization,
the OCP displays
“ERR.” in the upper
right hand corner
and the LED located
under the buttons is
amber.
• Power the system down completely and
power it back on.
• Determine the failure type by checking any
previous error codes returned to the host
computer.
• Check the event logs from the remote
management pages (see chapter 3 on
page 63).
One or more tape
drives fails to power
up,
• Power on tape drives from the OCP.
• Remove and reinstall the tape drive.
The tape drives are
not visible from the
host system.
• Check all SCSI cabling and termination at
the back of the library. If necessary, contact
your field service representative about
replacing the drives.
• Power on tape drives from the OCP.
• Remove and reinstall the tape drive.

Problem Corrective Action
The OCP is blank. • Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them.
• Confirm that power is on and if the OCP is still
blank, contact an authorized Quantum field
service engineer (see “Contacts” on page xx).
The OCP does not
respond to
buttons.
• Verify that the buttons are not stuck
underneath the front bezel.
• Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them. Power the library on and if the
OCP still does not respond to buttons, contact
an authorized Quantum field service engineer
(see “Contacts” on page xx).
An error number
or event is

Table 33 Robotics (Hand)
Problems Problem Corrective Action
The robot does not
move at power up.
• Make sure that all internal packing materials
(foam pads and metal straps) have been
removed.
• Check the library state on the OCP or remote
management pages. If Door Open is
displayed, make sure the front doors are
closed.
• Physically remove the AC power by removing
all power cords from the power supply(s) and
reconnect them. Power the library on and if
the robot still does not move, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer
(see “Contacts” on page xx).
The barcode reader
cannot read the
barcode and
displays “no
label”.
• Verify that nothing obstructs the reader.
• It is recommended to avoid barcode reader
problems, to only use tape cartridge labels
provided by manufacturer.
• Reboot the library (see “Reboot Library” on
page 126). If the problem continues, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer
see “Contacts” on page xx).
The robot times
out or fails during
an operation.
• Check that the tape cartridge involved in the
operation is properly positioned in the slot or
drive and ready to be picked.
• Check that the robot is not obstructed in any
way.
• Retry the operation. If it still fails, contact a
field service engineer.

Common Problems and Solutions
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 168
Operating Problems 5Table 34 describes the corrective action for problems which occur during
library operation.
Table 34 Problems During
Library Operation
The robot drops a
cartridge.
• Open the doors.
• Retrieve the cartridge, orient it properly, and
place the cartridge in an empty storage slot.
(Do not try to place the cartridge in the hand.)
• Perform an inventory (see “Inventory Page”
on page 82).
• If the operator manually places a cartridge in
an empty slot, he must then run an inventory
so the library records the position of the
manually placed cartridge.
Problem Corrective Action
The host computer
cannot
communicate with
the library.
This may be a SCSI bus time-out or a premature
disconnect problem.
Check cable connections, cable length, SCSI
addresses, and termination.
Restart the host and the library ensuring that
the library is “on-line” before the host is
restarted.
If the host and library still are not
communicating, contact an authorized
Quantum field service engineer see (“Contacts”
on page xx).

A tape cartridge
(medium) is
reported not
present.
This indicates that the hand could not sense a
tape cartridge in a particular storage slot even
though the inventory reports that it is present.
The system performs optimally when tape
cartridge labels are present.
Check to see if the designated cartridge is
present. If it is, make sure it is properly seated.
(For a tape drive, make sure the cartridge is
completely unloaded.) Then retry the
command.
If the error persists, contact an authorized
Quantum field service engineer see (“Contacts”
on page xx).
A move command
failed.
Check the source and destination slots. The
source slot should hold the cartridge to be
moved; the destination slot should be empty.
Make sure the hand is empty and all actuators
are free of obstruction.
Retry the command.
Reboot the library (see “Reboot Library” on
page 126). If the problem continues, contact an
authorized Quantum field service engineer see
“Contacts” on page xx).
A flash memory
error is reported.
Contact an authorized Quantum field service
engineer.
A maximum
temperature
exceeded warning
is displayed.
Turn off the library and allow it to cool down.
Lower the room temperature, if possible, and
increase ventilation around the library.
(If the operating temperature is too high, the
library will automatically shut down until the
temperature drops.)

Appendix B
BSDLTtape Cartridge
Maintenance
This appendix provides guidelines for handling SDLT cartridges and
visually inspecting cartridges if necessary.
Handling DLTtape Cartridges
• Always keep each tape cartridge in its protective plastic case when it
is not in the library.
• When carrying tape cartridges in their cases, always orient the cases
so that the grooves in the cases interlock. This prevents the cases from
slipping apart and falling.
• Never stack more than five cartridges on top of each other.
• Always observe the proper environmental conditions for the storage
of tape cartridges. Refer to the cartridge reference card supplied with
each cartridge.
• When placing tape cartridges in archival storage, make sure you
stand each tape cartridge vertically.
• Avoid placing tape cartridges near any sources of high intensity
magnetic fields, such as computer monitors or electric motors.
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 183
• Never apply adhesive labels or POST-IT notes to the top, side, or
bottom of your DLTtape cartridge. Only use the user slide- in type
label provided with each cartridge and slide it over the label slot on
the cartridge.
• Do not carry cartridges loosely in a box or any other container.
Allowing cartridges to bang together exposes them to unnecessary
physical shock.
• Do not touch or allow direct contact with tape or tape leader. Dust or
natural skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact tape
performance.
• Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
• Do not insert a dropped or damaged cartridge into a DLTtape drive
without, at the very least, a thorough visual inspection (see Visual
Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges). A dropped cartridge may have
dislodged, loosened, or damaged internal components.
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
When To Visually Inspect
a DLTtape Cartridge 2It is important to visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge under the
following circumstances:
• Whenever you change or load a new tape cartridge
• If the tape cartridge has been dropped or subjected to a physical
shock
• If a DLTtape drive becomes inoperable after loading the tape
cartridge
• If you receive a shipment of tape cartridges that shows any sign of
being damaged
Visual Inspection
Procedure 2To visually inspect a DLTtape cartridge:
1Check the cartridge for any obvious cracks or other physical damage.
Appendix B SDLTtape Cartridge Maintenance
Visual Inspection of DLTtape Cartridges
Quantum Scalar 50 User’s Guide 184
2Gently shake the tape cartridge. Listen for any rattling of loose pieces
inside the cartridge.
Caution: If you hear anything loose inside the cartridge, do not
use the cartridge.
3Locate the reel lock openings (see figure 99) and verify that you can
see the reel locks.
The reel locks are small plastic tabs near the center of the reel lock
openings. They can be broken if the cartridge is dropped.
Caution: If the reel locks are not visible, do not use the
cartridge.

4Verify that the spring-loaded hub (see figure 99) is centered within
the circular opening in the tape cartridge.
5Gently press the hub, then release it. Make sure the hub springs back
into place and is still centered within its circular opening.
6Open the tape cartridge door (see figure 100):
aGently press up on the tab at the right side of the tape cartridge
door.
bSwing the door open.

7Verify that:
• The tape is wound tightly on the reel
• The tape leader loop is sticking up about an eighth of an inch
• The tape leader loop is not bent or torn
Caution: If any of the above conditions are not met, do not use
the cartridge.
8Check for proper operation of the tape cartridge’s write-protect
switch (see figure 101).
The switch should snap back and forth, and the orange tab should be
visible when the switch is in the write-protected position.
