Storage
A disk cartridge,
locked in its bottom cover, form
adequate
short
term
storage
containers.
Unless platters are
to be
stored for a
long
period of time, no further protection is required. Cartridges
may be
stacked on top
of each
other (no more than five high) or
stored
on their sides. Clean, dust-free cabinets
made
of metal or
other fire resistant material are recommended for long-term
storage
of disk platters.
If disk platters
are
to be stored for a long period, they
should
be
repacked
in their original shipping containers before storing.
This
protects the covers from
excessive
dust and/or dirt
accumulation.
6.
High Security
Storage
Store
platters containing vitally important
data or duplicate master
records in
a
cabinet or storeroom that provides
protection against
catastrophic
damage. The cabinet or storeroom
should
be insulated
o
to
prevent the internal temperature
from rising
above 150 F
o
(66
C) in case of
fire.
7. Storage Environment
a)
For short term requirements, the
platter can
be stored in the
equipment
room
or similar environment.
b)
Long term storage:
o o o
o
Temperature:
-40
to 150 F
(-40
to
66 C)
Relative Humidity:
8% to 80%
If
stored under
other than real operating conditions,
condition
the
cartridge
to
the machine room environment
for two hours prior
to use.
8.
Shipping and Receiving
Disk cartridges are protected
in transit
by
packaging
assemblies
designed to withstand normal shipping
abuse. Upon receiving
a
cartridge, examine the shipping
container for
possible shipping
damage. If
you find any,
have
a Wang Service
Representative
inspect
the platter prior
to
using
it
in
a
disk drive.
This
will
eliminate
the
possibility
of damaging
the
drive or the
cartridge further.
