<div><p>This topic describes how to handle your tape cartridges and describes

the best environment in which to store your tape cartridges.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Tape drives require specific maintenance and environmental conditions to
|
||
|
|
operate well over time. To avoid problems with your IBM<sup>®</sup> tape drive you should:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Use high quality, data grade media</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Handle and store this media properly</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Operate the tape drive in a clean environment</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Keep the tape drive properly cleaned</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Media grades</h4><p>IBM uses two different grades of media. IBM supplies
|
||
|
|
program temporary fixes (PTF) on a tape that is designed to be written to
|
||
|
|
only once and read from a few times. This tape is designed for limited use,
|
||
|
|
not as a backup medium. IBM also sells media that is designed for storage use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If
|
||
|
|
analysis by IBM service
|
||
|
|
personnel indicates a problem with non-IBM media, it may be necessary for
|
||
|
|
you to replace the media.</p>
