You will need to clean the drives occasionally to prevent read and write errors. Enabling the Auto Clean feature allows the library to initiate drive cleaning without your intervention. (A drive is cleaned with a special cleaning cartridge.)
To enable Auto Clean, load valid cleaning cartridges into any of the 11 cells that are reserved for cleaning and diagnostic cartridges. For the locations of these cells, refer to Reserved Cells on page 24.
Note | To be valid: |
| A cleaning cartridge must have “CLN” in its VOLSER label. |
| 9840 cleaning cartridges must also have a “U” on their media |
| ID labels. |
| HP Ultrium cartridges have unique bar code labels specific to HP |
| as the drive manufacturer. For more information, see Drives and |
