Install Data Cartridges

Install each of the cartridges into the library. The cartridge storage slots are designed so that you cannot incorrectly install the cartridges.

Install Cleaning Cartridge (Optional)

If your backup software is capable of scheduling and performing a drive cleaning cycle automatically, you may want to dedicate a cartridge storage slot to a cleaning cartridge. When all cleaning cycles on the cleaning cartridge are exhausted (see Chapter 5: Operations and Maintenance, section Cleaning the Drive Head, for explanation of how to determine if a new cleaning cartridge is needed), remove the cleaning cartridge and install a new one (if equipped, use the Mailbox to exchange the cleaning cartridge).

Warning

Use only adic -approved DLT cleaning cartridges. Use of any other cleaning cartridge may damage the drive heads and void your warranty.

Close and Lock the Front Door

Close the library door, turn the key a quarter turn to the left and remove it from the lock.
