CHAPTER 5: Using Your Tape Drive
5.5.2 When to Use the Cleaning Tape
SDLT uses a built-in tape cleaning algorithm in conjunction with a cleaning tape.
The SDLT cleaning tape is housed in a plastic case, and is light gray in color.
A yellow LED (light) located on the front bezel of the tape drive indicates when
cleaning is needed; the location of this LED (and other front bezel LEDs) is shown
in
Figure 5-1 on page 5-11
.
N
OTE
: The tape cleaning algorithm is not used for the backward
read compatible (BRC) head; this head style does not need
cleaning.
5.5.3 Life Expectancy of the Cleaning Tape
Each SDLT Cleaning Tape is good for 20 uses. Use one of the Quantum-supplied
labels that come with the tape to keep track of the number of uses.
5.5.4 Compatibility of the Cleaning Tape
The SDLT Cleaning Tape is intended for use in SDLT drives, autoloaders and
libraries only. Alternatively stated, the Cleaning Tape only cleans the SDLT MRC
heads.
C
AUTION
: Never use a DLT cleaning tape in an SDLT drive; DLT
cleaning tapes are incompatible with the SDLT heads.
