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 2-15. 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.
