To Dry-Clean the Tape Path
To Dry-Clean the Tape Path
1. If applicable, unload the drive.
2. Insert a cleaning cartridge into the drive.
3. Observe the indications:
•
The green Activity indicator flashes to indicate cleaning is taking place.
•
The cartridge ejects and the Clean indicator turns off when cleaning is
complete.
•
A displayed “CHK XXXX” message means a cleaning cartridge failure, where
“XXXX” is a Fault Symptom Code; try a different cleaning cartridge.
4. Remove the cleaning cartridge when the drive ejects the cartridge.
Performing Tape Cartridge Operations
Write-Protecting a Tape Cartridge
1. Hold the tape cartridge with the customer label side up and rear volser label toward
you.
2. Locate the write protect switch on the right side of the tape cartridge.
3. Move the switch to the front of the tape cartridge (away from you) to write protect
position.
Loading a Tape Cartridge
1. Insert the tape cartridge in the drive (see Figure 5-1).
2. Wait for a displayed message:
•
A “Ready F” (File Protect) message means that tape is loaded and is write
protected.
Caution. Do not wet-clean the 9840 tape path. Cleaning with chemicals or with tools other
than the cleaning cartridge is not allowed.
Note. This procedure does not require you to take the tape drive offline.
Note. If the cleaning cartridge ejects immediately without performing a clean operation and the
drive displays “Exp_CLcart,” it means that the cleaning tape is used up. Obtain a new cleaning
cartridge.
Caution. Do not degauss 9840 tapes. Servo tracks are written on the tape at the factory.
When these tracks are mistakenly erased, the tape cartridge must be discarded.
