Cleaning Cycles

Regularly cleaning DDS/DAT drives helps in long-term reliability and should be conducted on a scheduled cycle

as well as when requested by the drive. The recommended cleaning interval for the drive is 50 tape motion hours

which is indicated when the cleaning LED comes on solid. Dell does not recommend cleaning outside of the

normal cleaning requests from the tape drive unless you are performing Read/Write troubleshooting steps.

Note: If the Cleaning LED remains on after using a valid cleaning tape, this would indicate the use of an expired

cleaning tape. See table 3 and table 5 for additional characteristics.

* If excessive dust or debris from the tape media collects at one or more of the tape heads, your drive may not be

able to read from or write to tape. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that you maintain the above clean

schedule on your DDS/DAT tape drive.

Black tape labeled with "DG-12CL or DG-15CL are the current recommended

clean cartridge to use."

Appearance almost identical to DDS/DAT Data cartridge. Only difference is the

labeling and cleaning cartridge has no write protect tab.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning cartridge that has cloth like material. Material for

valid drive should resemble magnetic tape.
