5.4.5 Loading the Cleaning Tape Into a Tabletop
Drive
NOTE: To use the cleaning cartridge in an Autoloader or Library
drive, refer to your owner’s manual.
Follow these steps to load an SDLT cleaning tape into an SDLT tabletop drive:
1. Insert the cleaning cartridge, with the Front Slide Label Slot facing outward,
into the drive until the drive engages with the cartridge and begins to take up
the cleaning media. The green Drive Status LED blinks and the cleaning cycle
begins automatically.
2. When the cleaning cycle completes, the cartridge automatically ejects from
the drive and the yellow alert LED turns off.
NOTE: On the last cleaning, the cleaning cartridge will not eject.
Use the Eject button on the front of the drive to eject the
expired cleaning cartridge and dispose of the cartridge.
3. Remove the cartridge, place it back into its plastic case, and mark the label
after each cleaning.
