This chapter provides notes on the LTFS option that is used with the LT140.

Notes on Operation

■ Cleaning tape drives
The LTFS option has a command used to clean the tape drives. When cleaning tape drives, use the LT140's
automatic cleaning function (Auto Cleaning) or the LTFS option's cleaning command.
For more details, refer to "3.7 Cleaning the Tape Drive" in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS LT series Tape Libraries
LTFS Option User's Guide".
When LTFS is running, performing a manual cleaning of the LT140 may cause a device usage conflict or an
inconsistent status for the tape cartridges or tape drives. This conflict or inconsistency may cause an error. Do
not perform a manual cleaning while LTFS is running.
