Using DLT Cleaning Cartridges

DLT drives should only be cleaned if the clean drive icon displays on the

tape library status bar. Only use the appropriate DLT cleaning

cartridges and follow the instructions on page 2-17. In general, replace

DLT cleaning cartridges after twenty uses. Marking the label on the

cleaning cartridge after each use will help you keep track of the number

of uses.

CAUTION Excessive use of the cleaning cartridge can cause unnecessary wear on

the drive head. The tape library front panel will display a message when

the DLT cleaning cartridge needs to be replaced.

See “DLT Cleaning Issues” on page D-17 for information on

troubleshooting common cleaning problems.
