Note:
If you press the Unload button during operation, the drive ends
the command that is being processed, then unloads and ejects the
tape. Depending on its location on the reel, the tape may take as
long as 20 minutes to completely rewind and eject.
Maintaining the IBM Ultrium Tape Drive
Note:
When cleaning the IBM Ultrium tape drive head, use only IBM LTO
Ultrium cleaning cartridges. You may use another LTO cleaning
cartridge, but it may not meet the standards of reliability
established by IBM.
To order approved cleaning cartridges from Spectra Logic, see
Purchasing Media and Cleaning Cartridges on page 44.
Cleaning the Drive Head
Clean the drive head whenever C displays on the single-character display and the status
light is solid green. IBM does not recommend that you clean the drive head on a
periodic basis, but only when
C displays.
To clean the head:
1. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape load compartment.
The tape drive performs the cleaning automatically. The cleaning cycle takes less
than two minutes.
2. When the cleaning is finished, the drive ejects the cartridge. Remove the
cartridge.
Note:
If you insert a cleaning cartridge when the drive does not need to
be cleaned or if you insert a cleaning cartridge that has expired,
the drive will automatically eject the cartridge.
The IBM LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge is valid for 50 uses. Be sure to mark the
cartridge after each use to keep track of how many times it is used.
