CARTRIDGE DISK HANDLING AND STORAGE

Upon receipt of cartridge disks, inspect them for signs of shipping damage.  Allow at least

one hour for temperature adjustment to the computer-room environment before using.

Recommended storage is on shelves in the computer or control room.

Although the cartridge protects the disk from most accidental damage, the following

cartridge handling rules should be observed:

• Do not try to open the cartridge when it is outside the drive.

• Do not insert objects into the cartridge or drive.

• Remove the cartridge from the drive after use and store in its protective jacket.

• Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or moisture.

• Do not expose the cartridge to magnetic fields greater than 30 oersteds.

• Protect the cartridge from dirt, spills, and harsh environments.

• Avoid handling the front edge of the cartridge, since oils can be transferred from the

hands to the cartridge disk.

1.4.1  Cartridge Loading and Removal

1. Drive power must be on before the cartridge can be inserted.  If power to the drive is

off, the latch pin in the drive will prevent cartridge insertion.

2. The cartridge is inserted into the drive shutter first.  The cartridge edge containing the

shutter faces toward the stop button on the front of the drive (see Figure 1-4).

Interlocks in the system prevent improper cartridge insertion
