Inserting the Cleaning Cartridge
See the Note below for 4U libraries with a Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS).
The following criteria must be followed for Auto Clean to function:
1. The Auto Clean function must be configured ″On″ or ″Enabled″.
v Operator Control Panel: Configure->Library Settings->Enabled
v Web User Interface: Configure Library->General->Auto Clean->checkmark
Note: Earlier versions of the 4U library contained a Dedicated Cleaning Slot
(DCS). This DCS can be retained and is supported by future library
firmware updates. However, library firmware later than 3.90 will allow
removal of the DCS, thus enabling this slot to be used as a storage
slot. Once the DCS is removed, the Auto Clean cleaning cartridge slot
must be configured as described below. If the DCS has been removed,
it can only be reinstated by restoring factory default settings. To
remove the DCS, perform the following procedure using the Operator
Control Panel (OCP): OCP->Configure->Library Settings->General-
>Remove DCS->No/Yes->Save .
2. A storage slot must be reserved (Res or RSVD).
v Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any
particular logical library. A reserved slot (or slots) is always the last slot in
the last magazine of any particular logical library. A cleaning cartridge that is
in a reserved slot is available to any logical library drive even if the reserved
slot is not in that particular logical library. If the library contains multiple
logical libraries, typically, the last logical library is chosen to be the reserved
slot containing the cleaning cartridge. As with a library with a single logical
library, this slot is the last physical slot in the library (top right magazine,
uppermost rear slot).
3. A cleaning cartridge (CLNxxxLx) must be placed or moved to a reserved slot.
v A cleaning cartridge must be replaced after 50 uses. Click on the Web User
Interface, Monitor Library->Inventory .
v Find the magazine that contains the cleaning cartridge.
v Click on the (+) located under that magazine presentation to expand the
detail of resident cartridges.
v Observe the cleaning cartridge location displayed. The number of Media
Loads represent how many times the cleaning cartridge has been used. The
number 50, minus that Media Load number represents the number of uses
left.
4. To install a cleaning cartridge in the 2U or 4U library:
a. Use the Operator Control Panel: Control → Move Cartridge or the Web User
Interface: Manage Library → Move Media to insert the cleaning cartridge
into the reserved slot or the DCS (if one exists, 4U only).
b. An alternate method is to use the Release Magazine option:
v Operator Control Panel: Control → Magazine (Left/Right)
v Web User Interface: Manage Library → Release Magazines (Left/Right)
c. Place a cleaning cartridge into the reserved slot or the DCS (if one exists, 4U
only).
Note: A user has the option to perform manual cleaning by navigating in the
RMU to Service → Clean Drive . In units with more than one drive to be
