Cleaning the drive head
Attention:
When the drive head is cleaned, use the IBM LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge (see “Ordering
media supplies” on page 54). You might use another LTO cleaning cartridge, but it might not meet the
standards of reliability that is established by IBM.
Clean the drive head whenever
C
displays on the Single-character Display and the Fault light is
flashing once per second. It is not recommended that you clean the drive head on a periodic basis; only
when the drive requests to be cleaned.
Note: In Maintenance mode, a flashing
C
with the Fault light On, means to insert a cartridge, not to
clean the drive head.
To clean the head, insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape load compartment (see “Front panel of the
drive” on page 2). The drive completes the cleaning automatically in less than 3 minutes, then ejects the
cartridge. The drive completes a short load/unload test while the cartridge is ejected. Wait for the drive
to finish before the cartridge is removed.
Note: The drive automatically ejects an expired cleaning cartridge.
The IBM LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is valid for 50 uses, and then must be replaced.
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 might result.
Tape Drive Status web page
The status of the tape drive is accessible from the tape drive’s Ethernet port. The drive status can be
viewed only. The status cannot be changed from the Tape Drive Status web page. The tape drive status is
available when the drive is operating or idle (the drive must be powered on).
1. Connect the host computer or a laptop to the tape drive’s Ethernet port (RJ45 connector) with an
Ethernet patch cable.
2. With a web browser, connect to http://169.254.0.3 to view the current tape drive status on an HTML
web page. (If the drive’s IP address was changed, use that address instead.) The web page is static, so
it must be refreshed frequently to show the latest drive status.
