Cleaning the Tape Drive
Excessive tape debris or other material can accumulate on the tape
heads if the drive is:
• Used with non-approved media
• Operated in a hot, dusty environment
When this happens, the drive can experience excessive errors while
reading or writing, and illuminate the amber Status LED continuously
during operation. This means that the drive needs to be cleaned.
The LTO cleaning cartridge has the same dimensions as the tape
cartridge and contains an LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM), but is
loaded with cleaning media instead of recording media. Always keep
the LTO cleaning cartridge in its protective case when not in use.
Procedure
To clean the LTO-4 (Model B) Half-Height Tape Drive:
1 Load an Ultrium Universal Cleaning cartridge into the tape drive.
2
The drive will carry out its cleaning cycle and eject the cartridge on
completion (which can take up to 5 minutes). During the cleaning
cycle the orange Clean LED will be on solidly and the green Ready
LED will flash.
Each Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge cleaning cartridge can be
used up to 50 times with Ultrium tape drives. If the cleaning
cartridge is ejected immediately with the Tape LED on, it has
expired.
Note: If the LTO-4 (Model B) Tape Drive does not recognize the
cartridge as an LTO cleaning cartridge, the drive stops the
cleaning process and ejects the cartridge.
3 After the cleaning process completes, depending on the drive
configuration, either:
a The drive automatically ejects the Ultrium Universal Cleaning
cartridge, or
b You must press the Eject button to eject the Ultrium Universal
Cleaning cartridge.
