Cleaning the tape drive with a cleaning cartridge can take as long as five
minutes, during which the Ready LED blinks. Each cleaning cartridge can
be used for 15 cleanings. The drive will automatically reject a cleaning
cartridge after it has been used 15 times. You may also refer to your
backup software documentation for information on enabling automatic
cleanings with the use of a dedicated cleaning slot.
To clean the tape drive, follow these steps:
1 From the Home screen or main menu, press the
[+]
or
[-]
button until
Commands
appears on the top line of the LCD screen, then press
[Enter]
.
2 Press the
[+]
or
[-]
button until
Clean Drive
appears on the LCD screen,
and then press
[Enter]
.

If the carousel is full, the LCD screen displays
No slot free for transfer
.
Press the
[Cancel]
button repeatedly until the main menu or Home
screen is displayed. Export a cartridge to make room for the cleaning
cartridge (see Exporting Cartridges on page 28), then return to step 1
to clean the tape drive.
4
If the carousel if not full, the ValueLoader will select the first
available slot and prompt you to insert a cleaning cartridge.
5
Insert the cleaning cartridge into the ValueLoader Import/Export
slot.
Note: Use only LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridges in the ValueLoader,
available at
www.Quantum.com
. Use of any other type of
cleaning cartridge could damage the read/write head in the
tape drive. Therefore, if you load any other type of cleaning
cartridge, the ValueLoader will automatically export the tape
within approximately 25 seconds.
Note: If you are using Operator’s Panel commands to clean the
drive, import the cleaning cartridge only after you have
selected the
Clean Drive
command. If you would like to keep a
cleaning cartridge in the ValueLoader, the backup software
must manage drive cleaning.
