Enabling Auto Clean

Note

Ensure your backup software support this feature before 

installing. For cleaning cartridge information specific to your 

drive type, see 

You will need to clean the drives occasionally to prevent read and write errors. 

Enabling the Auto Clean feature allows the library to initiate drive cleaning 

without your intervention. (A drive is cleaned with a special cleaning 

cartridge.)
To enable Auto Clean, load valid cleaning cartridges into any of the 11 cells 

that are reserved for cleaning and diagnostic cartridges. For the locations of 

these cells, refer to 

on page 24.

Note

To be valid:

A cleaning cartridge must have “CLN” in its VOLSER label.

9840 cleaning cartridges must also have a “U” on their media 

ID labels.

HP Ultrium cartridges have unique bar code labels specific to HP 

as the drive manufacturer. For more information, see
