Replace a Cleaning Cartridge

Cleaning cartridges have a limited life span. Refer to your tape drive publication to

determine how many times a cleaning cartridge should be used. When the usage count

exceeds its limit, you must replace it with a new one. You can use the SL Console to

eject the cleaning cartridge to the CAP.

To replace a cleaning cartridge:

1. Open the door.

2. Remove the expired cleaning cartridge from its reserved cell.

3. Insert the new cleaning cartridge into that cell.

Note –

Refer to

TABLE B-1

to make sure your cartridge has the correct vendor and

usage label.

4. Close the library door.

The SL Console status display shows that initialization tests are running.

5. Wait until the initialization tests complete before you perform another task.
