Cleaning the Tape Drive 13

This section discusses the DLT-S4 tape drive cleaning cartridge,

maintenance considerations, and important compatibility issues.

When to Clean the Tape

Drive

Quantum tape drives occasionally require preventive cleaning. To a large

degree, the amount of ambient pollution and particulates in the

environment dictates the cleaning frequency.

Do not clean the tape drive unless the tape drive specifically indicates that

cleaning is necessary. When your backup software indicates that you need

to clean the tape drive, or the right (yellow) LED on the tape drive comes

on, use the cleaning cartridge to clean the unit. (See figure 43

on page 111

for the location of this LED.)

Which Cleaning Cartridge

to Use

Use ONLY the SDLT CleaningTape. Other cleaning cartridges, such as

CleaningTape III or DLT VS CleaningTape, are incompatible with the

DLT-S4 tape drive heads.

The cleaning cartridge is packaged in a plastic case, and is white in color.

Caution: During the firmware update, when reprogramming

the new image into the flash EEPROMs is actually in

progress, a power failure (but not bus

RESET) or

power cycling the unit causes the controller module to

be unusable. When doing a firmware update, take

reasonable precautions to prevent a power failure.

Caution: Clean the tape drive only when the backup software or

right (yellow) LED light indicate cleaning is necessary (see

When to Clean the Tape Drive

). Use only the correct

cleaning cartridge for your tape drive (see Which Cleaning

Cartridge to Use).
