Setting the Cleaning Cartridge Count
Drives might occasionally need to be cleaned to prevent read/write errors. The
drives are cleaned with a special cleaning cartridge. After so many uses, the cartridge
must be thrown away.
If your LSM was configured during installation to have the AUTO CLEAN feature
enabled, you can use the LSM operator panel to set the maximum number of times
a cartridge can be used. The
DLT Tape Drive Product Manual suggests that you use a
DLT cleaning cartridge about 20 times.
Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-4 to make sure that you understand how to read the
block diagrams. Usually, pressing
EXECUTE
means “yes,” that you want to
perform the activity in the block, and pressing
MENU
means “no,” that you want to
continue through the choices until your activity appears in the block. Usually,
when you are at the end of the activity, you press
EXECUTE
. Press
MENU
if you
make a mistake or need to go through the choices again.
Refer to Figure 2-4 on page 2-7 for the menu block diagrams that describe how to
set the count.
