Maintaining the external tape drive

environment

To ensure reliable tape drive performance, you should

establish a regular cleaning schedule and observe the

following precautions:

• Never connect or disconnect the SCSI cable from the

EC 11 or from the tape drive without first powering

down both the EC11 and the tape drive.

• Avoid mounting the tape drive where it is subjected to

continuous shock or vibration.

• Maintain a clean, dust-free environment within the

temperature and humidity limits listed in the

specifications of the Meridian Mail system.

• Keep all liquids away from the drive and tapes to prevent

spills into the equipment.

• Exercise reasonable care when using and storing tape

cartridges. Do not place tapes on the EC 11 cabinet or on

the administration terminal monitor.

• When a stored tape is moved to an environment with a

greatly different temperature, allow the tape to slowly

reach room temperature before using it. Monitor the

cartridge for condensation if it has been moved from a

cold to a warm area. Do not use the tape as long as

condensation is visible.

• Do not open the cartridge access door or touch the tape.

• Keep the tape drive turned on when it is connected to the

EC 11.
