Exabyte 1X7 LTO manual Cleaning the Autoloader, Resuming Operation

CLEANING THE AUTOLOADER

5.Complete the installation—With the wide edge of the tape drive cover plate toward the bottom, slide the cover plate over the opening in the autoloader’s back panel (see Figure 7-1). Make sure that the cables aren’t pinched by the cover plate. Insert and tighten the four screws.

RESUMING OPERATION

To resume operation:

1.If you disconnected the SCSI cable, terminator, or Ethernet cable from the autoloader, reconnect them.

2.Reconnect the power cord and power on the autoloader, as described on page 19.

The autoloader is now ready to resume operation. The new tape drive automatically assumes the SCSI ID of the old tape drive.

You may want to perform a few cartridge load and unload operations from the front panel to ensure that the autoloader and the newly installed tape drive are communicating correctly (see page 68). You may also want to back up several megabytes of data with the new tape drive and perform a comparison check on the backed-up data. This determines whether the software and tape drive are communicating properly.

CLEANING THE AUTOLOADER

Caution The autoloader’s internal components are lubricated at the factory and should not be cleaned or relubricated.

The only autoloader components that should be cleaned are the tape drive and the operator panel.

Instructions for cleaning the tape drive are provided on page 70.

To clean the LCD, use wipes or cleaners appropriate for LCD screens or computer monitors.

Caution To avoid scratching the LCD, do not use abrasive cleaners, abrasive cleaning implements, harsh chemicals, or solvents.
