<h1 class="topictitle1">Tape environment</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Tape drives are designed to operate in a clean environment.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Problem factors are dirt, dust, fibers, and airborne particles. Airborne
|
||
|
|
particles are the most difficult to address. When you install a tape in the
|
||
|
|
tape drive, the clearance between the heads and the tape is measured in microns.
|
||
|
|
Particles can damage the tape or the head if they come in contact with either. IBM<sup>®</sup> offers
|
||
|
|
a tape drive filter enclosure for some systems to solve this problem. The
|
||
|
|
enclosure draws air in through a filter and supplies the tape drive with clean
|
||
|
|
air. You are responsible to provide a clean operating environment for the
|
||
|
|
tape drive and system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For specific requirements for environmental conditions such as temperature
|
||
|
|
and humidity, see the operator's manual for your tape cartridge.</p>
