Cleaning cartridge
Use the 3592 cleaning cartridge only in a 3592 drive to clean the head guide assembly. See the attention
notices in “Cleaning the operator bezel” on page 193, and refer to the 3592 Drive Operator Guide for drive
cleaning and cleaning cartridge information.
The 3592 cleaning cartridge is identifiable by its physical characteristics. The black case has a gray door
3 and a gray plastic insert 2 , which mimics the write-protect mechanism. The first 3 characters of the
volume serial (VOLSER) on the label 1 are CLN, which identifies the cartridge as a cleaning cartridge.
To use the cartridge, load it in a drive and the cleaning procedure occurs automatically. The cartridge
unloads after the cleaning procedure completes. See “Excessive Clean messages” on page 183 for
information.
The cleaning cartridge
• Contains a cartridge memory (CM) device that automatically maintains a record of the number of times
it is used (see “Cartridge memory (CM)” on page 27)
• Must be replaced after 50 uses
• Is part of the ship group
• Is a customer-purchased item
