Tape

cartridges

are

intended for nominal program

or

data storage; the typical life cycle

is

50-100

hours,

dependinj!

on

the

app~cation.

Environmental conditions of

25°C

(77

F)

and

20

to

50%

relative humidity

are

most

favorable for a long tape

life.

Tape

life

is

decreased

by a

high duty cycle (percent of of time the

tape

is

accessed

during the total time the

9825

is

in use), high turning

resistance

and

continuous

use

for long periods of time

(longer

than

one-half hour) It

is

suggested that

tape

transports

be

regularly cleaned

and

cartridges removed from

drives after use.

For heavy usage of mass storage

files,

such

as

in

consecutive

file

sorts

or

data

base

management

applications,

flexible disc drives

are

recommended

for optimum

performance

and
