Spectra 10K Library Preventative Maintenance Guide
Cleaning the Drives
Note:
Although Sony AIT drives come with a built-in cleaning function,
Spectra Logic recommends cleaning the drives every 100 hours of
use. If this cleaning frequency does not address intermittent read
and/or write errors, reduce the time between cleaning by half.
Continue adjusting the cleaning frequency until you reach optimal
operation. Allow the environment to determine how often you
clean the drives; each environment is unique.
This procedure must be performed with the library powered on
in stand alone mode
(no host system connected to the library).
1.
Attach SCSI terminators to the back of the library.
2.
Reconnect AC power to the library.
3.
Turn on power to the library.
4.
Wait for the library to come to a
Unit Ready
state before proceeding.
Drive Cleaning Procedure
