Note: Dell recommends enabling the Auto Clean function on the library. With the Auto Clean
function enabled, drive cleaning occurs automatically. The only time Auto Cleaning must be
disabled is when your backup application requires that it has control.
Manual cleaning
Manual cleaning requires that you select a menu option from the Management GUI to clean one
or more of the tape drives. Manual cleaning is always supported.
Host cleaning
Host cleaning enables the backup application to define and control the cleaning process.
Automatic and manual cleaning use the CLNxxx VOLSER.
Note: For tape cartridge information, see “Supported tape cartridges” on page 16.
Accessing cartridges
Each magazine has a button that provides an easy way to open a magazine. See “Front panel” on page 7.
Each module can be configured to have a portion of the right magazine that is designated as an I/O
station or this option can be disabled. To open the I/O station, press the magazine button for less than 3
seconds. To open the entire magazine, press the magazine button for more than 3 seconds.
Notes:
1. If a magazine is opened, no other magazines or I/O stations can be opened.
2. If during the magazine open process the magazine is not opened within 30 seconds, the magazine
locks.
3. The user must pull out the magazine, as the magazine does not eject.
The LED also provides an indicator of the current state of that magazine.

Configuring Library Managed Encryption (KMIP)
With the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) Wizard, you can configure the use of KMIP
key management servers with the library. Access the wizard from the Actions menu with the Manage
Encryption option. The Library Managed Encryption Licensed Feature is already activated on your
library, and cannot be deactivated. However, the feature must be configured before LME can be used.
Note: Before you run the Encryption Wizard
v Confirm that the Library Managed Encryption (KMIP) license is activated on the Settings > Library >
Licensed Features page.
v Verify that the KMIP server is available on the network and is configured for use with this library. For
information on configuring KMIP servers for use with the library, see the KMIP server documentation.
Note: If you plan to use the IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM), go to “Related Publications”
on page xxi for information on setup and configuration.
