Cleaning the Tape Mechanism

The SDLT CleaningTape is intended for use in SDLT 600A tape drives Alternatively stated, the SDLT CleaningTape only cleans the SDLT MRC heads.

Follow these steps to load an SDLT CleaningTape into an SDLT 600A tape drive:

2When the cleaning cycle completes, the cleaning tape automatically ejects from the tape drive and the yellow alert LED turns off.

Note: On the last cleaning, the cleaning tape will not eject. Use the Eject button on the front of the tape drive to eject the expired cleaning tape and dispose of the cleaning tape.

Operated in a hot, dusty environment

When this happens, the drive can experience excessive errors while reading or writing, and illuminate the amber Status LED continuously during operation. This means that the drive needs to be cleaned.
