Installing the Cleaning Cartridge in the ACL
Checking the New Device ID
After setting the device ID, it’s a good idea to cycle power to the drive using the AC
power switch and then check the value stored in NVRAM to make sure the new device
ID is correct. You can do this by repeating Steps 2 through 8 of the procedure in Using
the Operator Buttons to Check or Set the Device ID on page 3-42. If the device ID is
incorrect, follow the remaining steps of that procedure to correct it.
Installing the Cleaning Cartridge in the ACL
A cartridge magazine, blank cartridge tape, and cleaning cartridge come in a separate
package with each tape drive CRU that has an ACL. Be sure to install the cleaning
cartridge before operating the ACL. You can use the operator buttons on the ACL front
panel to load the cleaning cartridge from the cartridge magazine into a chamber within
the ACL. For more information about the cleaning cartridge, see Using a Cleaning
Cartridge on page 4-4.
When you have successfully placed the tape drive online, use the following procedure
to install the cleaning cartridge:
1. Remove the cartridge magazine from the ACL, and mount the cleaning cartridge in
the top slot (slot 1). Make sure that all other slots in the cartridge magazine are
empty.
2. Place the cartridge magazine (with the cleaning cartridge) in the ACL, and close
the magazine compartment door.
3. Make sure the ACL is ready for operation. An asterisk (*) appears on the ACL
message panel when the ACL is ready. If any other message appears, press the
RESET button until the asterisk appears.
4. Press the SHIFT and UNLOAD buttons simultaneously to place the ACL in the
installation mode. The message CHG CLN appears on the message panel.
5. Press the TEST button twice to start the installation sequence. The ACL first loads
the new cleaning cartridge from slot 1 into the drive to confirm the cartridge type. It
then loads the new cleaning cartridge into the cleaning cartridge chamber. The
ACL is ready for operation when the asterisk (*) reappears on the message panel.
You can replace the cleaning cartridge using a similar procedure. See Replacing a
Cleaning Cartridge in an ACL on page 6-10.
