Appendix A

Using Ultrium Cleaning Cartridges

Only use appropriately formatted data cartridges and HP Ultrium cleaning 

cartridges. In general, replace cleaning cartridges after fifteen uses. Marking 

the label on the cleaning cartridge after each use will help you keep track of 

the number of uses.

Caution

Excessive use of the cleaning cartridge can cause unnecessary 

wear on the drive head. The tape library operator panel will 

display a message when the cleaning cartridge needs to be 

replaced.

See 

on page 159 for information on 

troubleshooting common cleaning problems.
