spring-plate cover of the head aperture closes automatically when you remove the
diskette from the disk drive.

Tape Drive Requirements
and Capacities
The tape drive is used to save UNIX files, application program files, administrative
files, and voice system files during backup. Removable tape cartridges are used for
data storage. Each tape cartridge has the storage capacity of 125MB. If a voice
application is installed, you will need two to four tape cartridges for complete system
backup; otherwise one tape cartridge is sufficient.

Follow the recommendations shown below to ensure that your tape cartridges will
perform well for as long as possible.

Clean the read-write head as recommended for your tape drive.
Don't touch the tape itself.
Don’t store the tape cartridge in dusty environments.
Don’t remove the tape cartridge while the drive is moving.
Don’t leave the tape cartridge in the drive when you turn the system off.
Don’t expose the tape cartridge to magnetic or electrical fields or
extreme temperatures.
You can write-protect the tape cartridge to reduce the possibility of accidentally
writing over or erasing important data. Using a small, non-magnetic, flat blade
screwdriver, turn the write-protection screw until the arrow on the screw points to the
word “SAFE” on the cartridge.
