NOTE:
In addition to the information provided in this manual, see the documentation provided with your
media for more information.
CAUTION:
Ultrium tape drives require special cleaning cartridges and data cartridges formatted specifically for
HP Ultrium. To avoid damage to your tape drive, it is critical to use appropriate cleaning cartridges
and properly formatted data cartridges.
Approved media has the Ultrium format trademark, which indicates the media has passed Ultrium
format compliance testing.
For best results, always use HP branded media and barcode labels. See the HP StorageWorks Tape
Libraries Media and Barcode Labels flyer for information on which media and barcode labels to use
in your tape drives.
CAUTION:
Do not bulk erase Ultrium formatted cartridges. This destroys prerecorded servo information and
makes the cartridge unusable.
Always visually inspect your tape cartridges when loading or removing them from your tape library.
Taking a few minutes to check the condition of your cartridges lowers the risk of repeated failures
and helps ensure uninterrupted backup.
CAUTION:
Always discard damaged tape cartridges. If a defective tape cartridge is loaded into a tape drive, it
may damage the drive, potentially requiring drive replacement.
