Note:
In Maintenance Mode, a flashing
C
with the
Fault
light On,
means to insert a cartridge, not clean the drive head.
To clean the head, insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape load
compartment. The drive performs the cleaning automatically in less
than two minutes then ejects the cartridge. The drive will perform a
short
Load/Unload Test
while ejecting the drive. Wait for the drive to
finish before removing the cartridge.
Note:
The drive will automatically eject an expired cleaning cartridge.
The Quantum LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is valid for 50 uses.
Cleaning the Tape Drive
Clean the exterior surface of the tape drive with a damp towel. If a
liquid all-purpose cleaner is used, apply it to the towel. Do not spray the
tape drive.
Do not clean the interior of the tape drive; damage may result.
