ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for ensuring that a digital linear tape cartridge is inserted into a receiving device in the desired orientation with the tape door going into the receiving device last. The receiving device may be a sleeve with a pivoting lockout that rotates about a pin. The pivoting lockout will pivot freely out of the path of the digital linear tape cartridge only when the cartridge is inserted into the receiving device in the correct orientation with the tape door going into the receiving device last. The pivoting lockout will interfere with the digital linear tape cartridge if a user attempts to install the cartridge into the receiving device in any of the possible seven incorrect orientations.
