Caring for Tape Cartridges
Appearance of SDLT Tapes
From the outside, the Super DLTtape ™ cartridge looks very similar to the DLTtape IV cartridges. The basic geometry, write protection switch, and label space are unchanged
from the DLTtape IV cartridge. This simplifies the integration of Super DLTtape into existing operating environments and into automated tape libraries.
The Super DLTtape cartridge is easy to recognize; it has a different color than the DLTtape IV cartridge and contains a distinctive pattern molded into the shell. The Super
DLTtape cartridge has a keying feature to ensure you can not load it into previous generation DLTtape systems.
Cleaning the Tape Mechanism
When to Use the Cleaning Cartridge
SuperDLTtape drives do not require regular preventative cleaning due to improvements in the design. Do not clean your drive unless required. Your backup software or the
yellow Cleaning Required light (LED) notify you if you need to clean the drive. The location of the yellow Cleaning Required LED is shown in
Figure 1 .

Compatibility
The SDLT cleaning cartridge is for use in Super DLTtape drives, autoloaders, and libraries only.
Capacity
Each SDLT cleaning cartridge is good for 20 uses. Use one of the attached labels to keep track of the number of uses.
Loading a Cleaning Cartridge
To load a cleaning cartridge, follow these steps:
1. Insert the cleaning cartridge (with the front slide label slot facing outward) fully into the drive until the drive engages the cartridge and begins to take up the cleaning
media.
The green In Use light will blink and the cleaning cycle will begin automatically.
When the cleaning cycle completes the cartridge automatically ejects from the drive and the yellow Cleaning Required light shuts off.
2. Remove the cartridge, place it back into a plastic case, and mark the label after each cleaning.
For additional details about using cleaning cartridges in autoloaders and libraries, refer to the owner's manual for that product.
