Chapter 7.  NAStape 200 Tape Drives and Media

60

If you press the Unload button during operation, the drive ends 
the command that is being processed, then unloads and ejects the 
tape. Depending on its location on the reel, the tape may take as 
long as 20 minutes to completely rewind and eject.

When cleaning the IBM Ultrium tape drive head, use only IBM LTO 
Ultrium cleaning cartridges. You may use another LTO cleaning 
cartridge, but it may not meet the standards of reliability 
established by IBM.

To order approved cleaning cartridges from Spectra Logic, see 
Purchasing Media and Cleaning Cartridges on page 44.

Clean the drive head whenever C displays on the single-character display and the status 
light is solid green. IBM does not recommend that you clean the drive head on a 
periodic basis, but only when C displays.

To clean the head:

Insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape load compartment. 

The tape drive performs the cleaning automatically. The cleaning cycle takes less 
than two minutes. 

When the cleaning is finished, the drive ejects the cartridge. Remove the 
cartridge.

If you insert a cleaning cartridge when the drive does not need to 
be cleaned or if you insert a cleaning cartridge that has expired, 
the drive will automatically eject the cartridge.

The IBM LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge is valid for 50 uses. Be sure to mark the 
cartridge after each use to keep track of how many times it is used.
