DDS Tape Module
Ordering DDS Tape Cartridges
CAUTION! To ensure data integrity, use only Hewlett-Packard DDS tape cartridges. Only
cartridges with the DDS logo meet the quality standards required for reliable data storage.
DDS tape cartridges have more stringent reliability standards than DAT cassettes, which
are only tested for audio use.
DDS/MRS Logos
To identify computer-grade DDS tape media, look for the DDS logos (see Figure 21). The Media
Recognition System (MRS) enables the DDS tape module to identify DDS-grade tape media. DDS/MRS
tape cartridges have four stripes after the DDS logo and a line underneath the logo that states “Media
Recognition System”.
