Cleaning the drive head
Edit online
Use an IBM® Ultrium cleaning cartridge to clean the tape drive head.
Attention: When the drive head is cleaned, use the IBM LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge. You might use another LTO cleaning cartridge, but it might not meet the standards
of reliability that is established by IBM.
Clean the drive head whenever displays on the Single-character Display (SCD) and the Fault light is flashing once per second. It is not recommended that you clean the
drive head on a periodic basis; only when the drive requests to be cleaned.
Note: In Maintenance mode, a flashing with the Fault light On, means to insert a cartridge, not to clean the drive head.
To clean the head, insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape load compartment. The drive completes the cleaning automatically in less than 3 minutes, then ejects the
cartridge. The drive completes a short load/unload test while the cartridge is ejected. Wait for the drive to finish before the cartridge is removed.
Note: The drive automatically ejects an expired cleaning cartridge.
The IBM LTO Ultrium Cleaning Cartridge is valid for 50 uses, and then must be replaced.
