This section discusses the SDLT Cleaning Tape, maintenance considerations, and
important compatibility issues you need to be aware of.
N
OTE
: Use the SDLT Cleaning Tape if cleaning is indicated
through your backup software or when the yellow alert
light is ON. Do not clean the drive unless the drive
specifically indicates cleaning is necessary.
5.5.1 Occasional Cleaning of Tape Head
SDLT drives may not require preventative cleaning, because of improvements in
the head design. The frequency of cleaning is dictated, to a large degree, by the
amount of ambient pollution and particulates in the environment. For details, refer
to
“Particulate Contamination Limits” on page 3-15
.
Do not clean your drive unless cleaning is indicated. Your backup software or the
yellow alert light (LED) notify you if you need to clean the drive.
C
AUTION
: Never use a DLT cleaning tape in an SDLT drive; DLT
cleaning tapes are incompatible with the SDLT heads.
