SDLT 600 Product Manual
Clean the SDLT 600 tape drive with the SDLT CleaningTape, which is
also used to clean the SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 tape drives.
When to Use the Cleaning
Tape
4
The SDLT 600 tape drive uses a built-in tape cleaning algorithm in
conjunction with a
cleaning tape
. The SDLT CleaningTape is packaged in a
plastic case, and is light gray in color.
A yellow LED located on the front bezel of the SDLT 600 tape drive
indicates when cleaning is needed;
figure 20 shows the location of this
LED (and other front bezel LEDs).
Life Expectancy of the
Cleaning Tape
4
Each SDLT CleaningTape is good for 20 uses. Use one of the labels that is
supplied with the tape to track the number of uses.
Compatibility of the
Cleaning Tape
4
The SDLT CleaningTape is intended for use in SDLT 600 tape drives,
autoloaders, and libraries only. Alternatively stated, the SDLT
CleaningTape only cleans the SDLT MRC heads.
Loading the Cleaning
Tape Into a Tabletop Tape
Drive
4
Follow these steps to load an SDLT CleaningTape into an SDLT 600
tabletop tape drive:
1
Insert the cleaning tape, with the Front Slide Label Slot facing
outward, into the tape drive until the tape drive engages with the
cleaning tape and begins to take up the cleaning media. The green
Drive Status LED flashes and the cleaning cycle begins automatically.
Caution:
Use ONLY the SDLT CleaningTape. Other cleaning tapes,
such as CleaningTape III or DLT VS CleaningTape, are
incompatible with the SDLT 600 tape drive heads.
Note:
To use the cleaning tape in an Autoloader or Library tape
drive, refer to your owner’s manual.
