Cleaning the Tape Drive

Excessive tape debris or other material can accumulate on the tape

heads if the drive is:

• Used with non-approved media

• Operated in a hot, dusty environment

When this happens, the drive can experience excessive errors while

reading or writing, and illuminate the amber Status LED continuously

during operation. This means that the drive needs to be cleaned.

The LTO cleaning cartridge has the same dimensions as the tape

cartridge and contains an LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM), but is

loaded with cleaning media instead of recording media. Always keep

the LTO cleaning cartridge in its protective case when not in use.

Procedure

To clean the LTO-4 (Model B) Half-Height Tape Drive:

1 Load an Ultrium Universal Cleaning cartridge into the tape drive.

2 The drive will carry out its cleaning cycle and eject the cartridge on

completion (which can take up to 5 minutes). During the cleaning

cycle the orange Clean LED will be on solidly and the green Ready

LED will flash.

Each Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge cleaning cartridge can be

used up to 50 times with Ultrium tape drives. If the cleaning

cartridge is ejected immediately with the Ta p e L E D on, it has

expired.

Note: If the LTO-4 (Model B) Tape Drive does not recognize the

cartridge as an LTO cleaning cartridge, the drive stops the

cleaning process and ejects the cartridge.

3 After the cleaning process completes, depending on the drive

configuration, either:

a The drive automatically ejects the Ultrium Universal Cleaning

cartridge, or

b You must press the Eject button to eject the Ultrium Universal

Cleaning cartridge.
