Appendix

 

A.

Maintaining

your

 

tape

 

drive

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This

section

 

contains

important

 

information

 

about

maintaining

your

tape

drive

 

and

 

 

 

 

 

caring

for

your

storage

media.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tape

handling

 

and

storage

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most

tape

 

is

supplied

in

a

sealed

 

cartridge.

Tape

is

 

provided

this

way

so

that

the tape

will

remain

 

in

a

clean

environment.

Opening

 

the

cartridge allows dirt and airborne

 

 

 

 

particles

 

to

 

enter

and

then

become

a

source

of

 

contamination.

The

cartridge

 

must

only

 

 

be

opened

 

by

 

the

tape

drive

and

not

by

an

operator.

The

tape

is

also

held

under

 

 

proper

tension

 

inside

the

cartridge.

If

the

cartridge

is

dropped,

this

tension

is

relaxed.

Inserting

 

a

 

dropped

cartridge

into

a

tape

 

drive

can

often

 

cause

a

mis-load

that

results

in

a jam.

The

jam

ruins

the

 

tape

 

and

 

can

cause

physical

 

damage

 

if

the

 

cartridge

is

not

removed

properly.

When

the

tapes

are

 

stored,

they

must

 

be

reinstalled

into

their

 

 

 

protective

containers

and

stored

 

on

their

 

ends.

You

must

store

the

tapes

in

a

clean,

dry area with normal room temperature, and

away

 

from

 

magnetic

fields.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Environmental issues

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

operating

 

environment

might

adversely

affect

tape

drive

 

operation.

The

tape

drive

 

 

 

is

designed

 

to

operate

in

a

clean

environment.

When

tape

 

is

installed

in

 

a

tape

drive,

the

clearance

 

between

the

heads

 

and

the

 

tape

is

measured

in

microns.

Even

particles

 

 

 

of

smoke

 

are

 

larger

than

the

space

available

between

the

 

tape

and

the

heads.

Other

 

 

environmental

 

factors

that

adversely

affect

 

tape

drive

 

operation

are

dirt,

 

dust,

fibers,

and

airborne

 

particles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tape

drive

 

cleaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even

if

 

the

operating

environment

is

clean,

dirt

might

 

build

up

on

the

 

heads of

any

 

 

tape

drive.

 

Every

time

tape

motion

 

occurs,

some

of

the

media

surface

comes

off

on

 

 

the

heads.

Over

time,

this

material

builds

up

and

causing

the

tape

head

 

clearance

to

 

 

increase.

The

 

increased

tape

head

clearance

produces

reading

and

writing

errors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most

tape

 

drives

today

have

 

a built-in

 

cleaning

indicator

 

to

notify

you

 

when

the

tape

needs

cleaning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do

not

use

 

any

non-IBM

cleaning

cartridges

with

 

these

tape

drives. You

 

can

only

use

cleaning

cartridges

for

a

limited

 

number

of

 

times.

A

cleaning

cartridge

is

expired

after

 

 

it

has

 

been

 

used

for

the

maximum

number

 

of

times.

When

 

a

cleaning

cartridge

is

 

 

 

 

expired,

you

 

must

replace

it.

Never

 

reuse

an

expired

cleaning

cartridge.

If

 

you

 

 

 

 

continue

to

use

an

expired

cleaning

cartridge,

you

will

reintroduce

previously

 

removed

 

 

 

 

dirt

to

 

the

tape

drive

and

you

will

 

not

clean

the

 

drive. To

make

sure

that

you

know
