Exabyte 480, 440 manual Install a cleaning cartridge

Chapter 2

Step 6 – Install a cleaning cartridge

The following procedure describes how to manually install a cleaning cartridge in the fixed cartridge slot. To replace this cartridge after the library has been in operation, use the Remove Cartridge and Insert Cartridge options on the Maintenance Menu and the entry/exit port, as described on page 73.

➤Important If you are using Exabyte Mammoth tape drives, use an Exabyte Mammoth 8mm Cleaning Cartridge (or a cleaning cartridge approved by Exabyte for use with Mammoth).

If you are using the Eliant 820 tape drives, use an Exabyte Premium 8mm Cleaning Cartridge (or a cleaning cartridge approved by Exabyte for use with your tape drive).

The Mammoth tape drive ejects all other 8mm cleaning cartridges, and the Eliant 820 ejects Mammoth 8mm Cleaning Cartridges.

CAUTION

Use Exabyte or Exabyte-approved cleaning cartridges only. Using cloth swabs, cotton swabs, cleaning agents, or cleaning cartridges not approved for your tape drive by Exabyte may void the tape drive warranty.
