Preventive Maintenance

Disk Drives

Check the preventive maintenance procedures listed in the documentation that came with your disk drive.

Tape Drives

Clean the magnetic tape path at regular intervals to remove oxide build-up, especially on the read/write head. Use only the prescribed cleaning fluids to clean the tape path. Improper use of non-prescribed cleaners can leave residue that can increase tape read/write errors and damage the tape drive and tapes.

Use only high quality tapes. Use of poor quality tapes can lead to loss of data and damage to the tape drive.

Plotters

Clean plotters on a regular basis. Check the preventive maintenance procedures listed in the documentation that came with your plotter.

Terminals and PCs

Clean terminals and PCs and replace batteries on a regular basis. If battery replacement is necessary, follow the procedures in the documentation that came with your terminal or PC.
