For a detailed description, refer to the tape drive product specification. 6FDODU$, 7 7DSH'ULYH2SHUDWLRQ &OHDQLQJWKHWDSHGULYHV You should clean a tape drive whenever the library displays "Drive needs cleaning" on the Main Screen of the LCD or whenever your application software notifies you. (Not all software applications display cleaning requirements. ) Regular cleaning helps ensure that the tape drives function reliably. 1RWH Some applications monitor the tape drives' cleaning needs and automatically insert the cleaning cartridge in the drive whenever it needs cleaning. If this is the case, you can skip the cleaning instructions in this section. 6HOHFWLQJFOHDQLQJFDUWULGJHV Use a Sony TCL cleaning cartridge to clean any AIT drive.

The Status LED on the drive that requires cleaning will be flashing Mode 2 (the Tape LED may also be flashing Mode 2). , QVWDOODWLRQDQG2SHUDWLRQ &KDSWHU Make certain a cleaning cartridge is installed in the fixed cartridge slot. (If the fixed slot contains a data cartridge and you follow these steps, you will have to manually eject the data cartridge from the tape drive. ) If security has been enabled, disable it (see page 34). The following screen displays: C l e a n Clean Dr Dr ive ive 1 2 Select the tape drive you want to clean. Drive 1 is the tape drive closest to the magazine; Drive 2 is the tape drive farthest from the magazine. When you select a drive, the following activities occur: S The CHM picks the cleaning cartridge from the fixed slot and inserts it in the tape drive you specified. S The tape drive automatically performs the cleaning process and ejects the cartridge when the process is complete (in several minutes). S The CHM automatically picks the cartridge from the tape drive and replaces it in the fixed cartridge slot. 6FDODU$, 7 7DSH'ULYH2SHUDWLRQ Confirm that the cleaning was done by looking at the Status LED on the front of the drive. If the LED is still on, replace the cleaning cartridge and clean the tape drive again. If the LED is still on after the second cleaning, there may be a problem with the tape drive. ³ , PSRUWDQW , IWKHWDSHGULYHHMHFWVWKHFOHDQLQJ FDUWULGJHZLWKLQDPLQXWH\RXQHHGWRUHSODFHWKH FOHDQLQJFDUWULGJH6HHSDJH IRUFDUWULGJH UHSODFHPHQWLQVWUXFWLRQV When the cleaning is complete, return the library to its original control mode (SCSI Interface mode or one of the sequential modes) and re-enable security.

[. . . ] In Sequential 1 mode, the CHM moves cartridges between the slots and only one of the tape drives. 6HTXHQWLDOPRGH Sequential 1 mode provides efficient sequential operation when you have just one tape drive installed. In this mode, the CHM picks cartridges sequentially from the slots and processes them in one tape drive. (The fixed cartridge slot is not included. ) , QVWDOODWLRQDQG2SHUDWLRQ $SSHQGL[' In Sequential 1 mode, the library processes the cartridges in tape drive 1 (closest to the magazine). In Sequential 1 mode, the library performs the following steps: Picks the cartridge from slot 1 and places it in the tape drive specified by the mode (1 or 2). If the slot is empty, the CHM picks the next cartridge in the magazine. [. . . ]
