with
a
Dedicated
Cleaning
Slot
(DCS).

following
criteria
must
be
followed
for

to
function:
1.
The
Auto

or

Interface:

Library->General->Auto

Note:
Earlier
versions
of
the
4U
library
contained
a
Dedicated
Cleaning
Slot
(DCS).
This
DCS
can
be
retained
and
is
supported
by
future
library
firmware
updates.
However,
library
firmware
later
than
3.90
will
allow
removal
of
the
DCS,
thus
enabling
this
slot
to
be
used
as
a
storage
slot.
Once
the
DCS
is
removed,
the
Auto
Clean
cleaning
cartridge
slot
must
be
configured
as
described
below.
If
the
DCS
has
been
removed,
it
can
only
be
reinstated
by
restoring
factory
default
settings.
To
remove
the
DCS,
perform
the
following
procedure
using
the
Operator
Control
Panel
(OCP):
OCP->Configure->Library
Settings->General-
>Remove
DCS->No/Yes->Save
.
2.
A
storage
slot
must
be
reserved
(Res
or
RSVD).
v
Reserving
a
slot
is
accomplished
by
reducing
the
Active
Slot
count
in
any
particular
logical
library.
A
reserved
slot
(or
slots)
is
always
the
last
slot
in
the
last
magazine
of
any
particular
logical
library.
A
cleaning
cartridge
that
is
in
a
reserved
slot
is
available
to
any
logical
library
drive
even
if
the
reserved
slot
is
not
in
that
particular
logical
library.
If
the
library
contains
multiple
logical
libraries,
typically,
the
last
logical
library
is
chosen
to
be
the
reserved
slot
containing
the
cleaning
cartridge.
As
with
a
library
with
a
single
logical
library,
this
slot
is
the
last
physical
slot
in
the
library
(top
right
magazine,
uppermost
rear
slot).
3.
A
cleaning
cartridge
(CLNxxxLx)
must
be
placed
or
moved
to
a
reserved
slot.
v
A
cleaning
cartridge
must
be
replaced
after
50
uses.
