Cleaning the tape drive

all-purpose cleaner, apply it to the towel. Do not spray cleaner directly on the tape
drive.
Do not clean the interior of the tape drive; damage may result.
Tape drive status web page
The status of the tape drive is accessible from the tape drive’s Ethernet port.
The drive status can be viewed from the web page. The drive status cannot be
changed from the web page. The tape drive status is available when the drive is
operating or idle.

drive status on an HTML web page.
