Cleaning a Drive

Use the Drives dialog box to manually initiate a drive cleaning operation. When cleaning a drive,
use cleaning media inserted in the I/E station or media in an assigned cleaning magazine.

NOTE:

If the host application coordinates drive cleaning, or if automatic drive cleaning is enabled for the
partition, you do not need to manually initiate a drive cleaning operation to perform routine cleaning
tasks. In these cases, routine cleaning is handled by the host application or the library, and you should
manually initiate a drive cleaning operation only as part of a troubleshooting procedure.

Before you manually initiate a drive cleaning operation, add cleaning media to the library.

There are two ways to add cleaning media to the library:

Insert cleaning media into the I/E station and close the I/E station door.

Configure drive cleaning by assigning cleaning magazines and importing cleaning media. (See

Configuring Drive Cleaning

.)

After adding cleaning media to the library, manually initiate a drive cleaning operation:

1.

On the menu bar, click Tools > Drives to display the Drives dialog box.

2.

Click a drive in the list, and then click Clean.
The Clean Drive dialog box appears.
