Clean

 indicator lights. It is time to clean the tape 

drive.

Do not wet-clean the tape drive. Do not clean the tape 

drive unless the 

Clean

 indicator lights. 

1. Make sure the tape drive is not in use before proceeding to Step 2. 

Note – 

If there is a tape loaded in the tape drive, make sure the application or job that 

was using that tape drive is no longer running. 

2. Unload any data cartridge in the tape drive.

3. Insert a cleaning cartridge in the tape drive.

Once loaded, the

 and 

clean

 indicators turn off, 

cleaning is complete and the tape drive unloads the cleaning cartridge.

Note – 

The tape drive might immediately eject the cleaning cartridge and show the 

message 

Exp ClCart

 in the front panel display. This indicates that the cleaning 

cartridge has been used its maximum number of cleaning cycles. 

Discard

 the worn 

cleaning cartridge and insert a new cleaning cartridge into the tape drive.

 

 

 

The cleaning cartridge can be used about 100 times before you must discard it. 

If 

CHK xxxx 

appears in the tape drive’s front panel display, where xxxx is the fault 

symptom code (FSC), a cleaning cartridge failure occurred. 

 

 

Try the procedure again with a different cleaning cartridge. If the problem persists, 
contact your service representative.

4. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the tape drive.
