Using DLT1 Cleaning Cartridges
DLT1 drives should be cleaned when the clean drive icon displays on the
tape library or autoloader status bar. Only use the appropriate DLT1
cleaning cartridges and follow the instructions in your tape library or
autoloader user’s guide. In general, replace DLT1 cleaning cartridges
after twenty uses. Marking the label on the cleaning cartridge after each
use will help you keep track of the number of uses.
NOTE The tape library or autoloader front panel will display a message when
the DLT1 cleaning cartridge needs to be replaced.
See “DLT1 Cleaning Issues” on page 3-15 for information on
troubleshooting common cleaning problems.
