How to install Overland-Tandberg LTO-7 Data Cartridge

Installing the cartridge correctly ensures optimal performance, data integrity, and reliable media handling by your tape system. Follow these best-practice steps to install the media safely and efficiently:

  • Power down the envelope or the tape system if required by your maintenance procedure, or place the device in a safe maintenance mode according to your IT policy.
  • Open the media access door and prepare to insert the cartridge by handling it only by the edges. Avoid touching the tape surface or the gold connectors at the back of the cartridge.
  • Align the cartridge so the labeled side is facing outward and the cartridge guides match the drive’s loading slots. Ensure the cartridge orientation corresponds to the drive specification for tape loading.
  • Gently insert the cartridge straight into the drive or library slot until it seats with a definitive, positive engagement. Do not force the cartridge; if it does not seat smoothly, remove it, inspect the guides, and reinsert.
  • Close the media door, power up the system if needed, and run a media check or a brief diagnostic to verify proper recognition and readiness for backups or archival operations.
