Cleaning Drives

Clean the tape heads of the drive regularly with a cleaning cartridge to maintain the

integrity of backup data. For optimum performance and to prevent the loss of data,

HP recommends that you incorporate a cleaning cycle into your backup routine.

As a general guideline, you should clean the tape heads after every fifth backup

cartridge. You should also clean the tape heads if the media caution signal (flashing

amber light) is displayed on a tape drive or the

autoloader. Refer to the device documentation for more information.

Cleaning Cartridges

Use only an HP cleaning cartridge to clean the tape heads. Do not use swabs or other

means of cleaning the heads. The cleaning cartridge uses a special tape to clean the

tape heads. A cleaning cartridge can only be used 50 times or as instructed on the

cartridge packaging. When the cartridge runs out of tape, discard it and use a new

one.

Use the cleaning cartridge if cleaning is indicated by the backup software or if the

Cleaning LED is on. Refer to the device documentation for more information.

The tape drive has a cleaning roller built in, which assists in preventing and

recovering from head contamination. This feature minimizes buildup on the

read/write heads so fewer cleaning cycles with a cleaning cassette are required.

However, HP recommends you schedule a routine cleaning every 100 hours of use to

keep the tape drive in good working order. The drive also needs cleaning when the

drive Status LED displays long flashes with short pauses. Refer to the device

documentation for more information.
