Caution: LTO tape drive media cannot be degaussed due to the fact
that it uses "magnetic servos." Do not attempt to degauss
LTO tape drive media. If this media is degaussed, it will
no longer work.
Cleaning Cartridges 2
Cleaning cartridges are used when a tape drive within the library
requires cleaning. When Autoclean is enabled (either through the OCP or
remote management screens), the library will automatically clean the
tape drive when needed. A fixed bin (see figure
2 on page 3 and figure 3
on page 4 for bin locations) is generally used
to store a cleaning cartridge,
however, the cartridge can be placed anywhere in the library. When the
li
brary completes the inventory, the system stores the cleaning cartridge
location so it will be available when a tape drive requires cleaning.
Note: You mu
st attach the appropriate cleaning cartridge barcode
label (SDLT or LTO) to the cleaning cartridge or the library
will mark it as unrecognizable media.
