2. Unload any data cartridge in the tape drive. See "To Unload a Cartridge" on
page 3-6 if a data cartridge is loaded in the tape drive.
3. Insert a cleaning cartridge in the tape drive.
■ After the cartridge loads, the activity light flashes.
■ The activity and clean indicators turn off when cleaning is completed, and the
tape drive unloads the cleaning cartridge.
The cleaning cartridge has been used to its maximum number of cleaning cycles, if
the tape drive immediately ejects the cleaning cartridge and the message Exp
ClCart appears in the tape drive's front panel display screen (a similar message is
displayed on the VOP if that program is being used to monitor the tape drive).
Note: Discard the expired cleaning cartridge and insert a new
cleaning cartridge into the tape drive.
A cleaning cartridge failure occurred, if the message CHK xxxx appears in the tape
drive's front panel ( xxxx is the FSC).
Tip: Try the procedure again with a different cleaning cartridge. If
the problem persists, contact your service representative.
Caution: Tape damage: Do not forcibly remove a tape cleaning
cartridge.
4. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the tape drive.
Note: Any resistance to removing the tape cleaning cartridge,
beyond the usual friction between the cleaning cartridge case and
the tape drive, probably indicates that the cartridge leader is not
fully rewound (see "Manually Unload a Cartridge" on page 3-6).
This completes the cleaning process and the tape drive is ready to resume normal
operations.
Initial Program Load (IPL)
To recover from certain errors, you will perform a forced IPL. When the IPL starts, the
following things happen:
■ The drive power indicator flashes.
■ Various IPL sequence messages appear in the operator panel display window.
These messages require no action on your part.
After the drive successfully completes an IPL:
■ The drive power indicator is steady.
■ An asterisk (*) appears in the operator panel display window.
