Disk Drives
Check the preventive maintenance procedures listed in the documentation that
came with your disk drive.
Tape Drives
Clean the magnetic tape path at regular intervals to remove oxide build-up,
especially on the read/write head. Use only the prescribed cleaning fluids to
clean the tape path. Improper use of non-prescribed cleaners can leave residue
that can increase tape read/write errors and damage the tape drive and tapes.
Use only high quality tapes. Use of poor quality tapes can lead to loss of data
and damage to the tape drive.
Plotters
Clean plotters on a regular basis. Check the preventive maintenance
procedures listed in the documentation that came with your plotter.
Terminals and PCs
Clean terminals and PCs and replace batteries on a regular basis. If battery
replacement is necessary, follow the procedures in the documentation that
came with your terminal or PC.
