Tape Drive Operation
6.Use >@ to select the tape drive you want to clean as described below, and press >(QWHU@.
Clean Drive 1 (top tape drive)
Clean Drive 2 (second from top)
Clean Drive 3 (third from top)
Clean Drive 4 (bottom tape drive)
When you select a tape drive, the following activities occur:
The CHM picks the cleaning cartridge from the fixed cartridge slot and inserts it in the tape drive you specified.
The tape drive automatically performs the cleaning process and ejects the cartridge when the process is complete (several minutes).
The CHM picks the cartridge from the tape drive and replaces it in the fixed cartridge slot.
7.Confirm that the cleaning was done by looking at the LEDs on the front of the tape drive. For Mammoth tape drives, the top LED should be off. For Eliant 820 tape drives, the top and bottom LEDs should be off. If the LEDs are still on, replace the cleaning cartridge and clean the tape drive again. If the LEDs are still on after the second cleaning, there may be a problem with the tape drive.
➤Important If the tape drive ejects the cleaning cartridge within a minute, you need to replace the cartridge. See page 73 for cartridge replacement instructions.
8.When the library is complete, return the library to its original control mode and enable security.
