Operation
• Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from a low to high
temperatures. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the
drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is
turned on, wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you
attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in
temperature, a malfunction may occur.
• Turning off the power to the drive while they are writing to tape may
cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated
parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.
Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the
drive.
• Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drive. After
removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original
packing.
