If the operator panel displays “ONLINE - PRESS EXE TO UNLK CAP,” go

2. Pull the drawer further toward you. Hold onto the drawer.
3. Remove the cartridge and properly store it outside the LSM. Refer to “Storing
the Cartridges” in Appendix A, “Cartridge Tape Information.”

5. Repeat these steps until all the desired cartridges have been removed.
Replacing the Cleaning Cartridge
The following paragraphs pertain to you if your LSM has the AUTO CLEAN
feature enabled. You can use the View Configuration section of the block diagrams
in
Chapter 2, “Controls and Indicators,” to determine whether the feature is
enabled.
If the feature is not enabled, you will need to keep track of how many times a
cleaning cartridge has been used and throw it away when necessary.
When a cleaning cartridge has been used a number of times, as defined in “Setting
the Cleaning Cartridge Count” in Chapter 2, “Controls and Indicators,” the LSM
operator panel displays “CLEANING CARTRIDGE USED UP.” You must
remove the expired cartridge and place a new cartridge into the CAP. If your
machine has AUTO CLEAN enabled, use the procedure below to replace the
cartridge.
Note: The Quantum DLT Tape Drive Product Manual recommends using a
cleaning cartridge about 20 times.
CAUTION:
Do not re-enter a cleaning cartridge that has been ejected from an LSM.
When you enter a cleaning cartridge, the software considers it to be new
and sets the usage counter to zero.
Cleaning cartridges have a unique 3-character alphanumeric prefix in their
VOLSER (default is “CLN”). Cleaning cartridges cannot be used as scratch
cartridges or initialized by software utilities.
