Cleaning Drives; Replacing The Air Filter - Spectra Logic T-Series Spectra T120 User Manual

Cleaning Drives

Use your backup software to clean the library's drives when a drive indicates that it
needs cleaning, as outlined in LTO-2 Drive Cleaning Notification on page 116.
Use only certified cleaning cartridges to clean your tape drives. For information on
ordering these cartridges, see How To Order on page 121.

Replacing the Air Filter

The library air filter catches contaminants as the fans pull cool air into the library. A
clogged air filter can cause operational problems due to excessive temperatures inside
the library.
You may want to inspect the filter at least once every three months for preventive
maintenance. If the air filter is clogged, replace it immediately.
Caution:
Some environments may require more frequent filter inspection
and replacement. If an air filter gets clogged quickly, consider
moving the library to a more dust-free location or improve the
environment where it is located.
Vorsicht:
In bestimmten Umgebungen kann es notwendig sein, Filter öfter
zu prüfen und auszutauschen. Falls Filter sehr häufig gewechselt
werden müssen kann es sinnvoll sein, die Library in einer
weniger staubigen Umgebung zu installieren oder die
Umgebungsbedingungen zu verbessern.
After replacing the filter, clean all tape drives. Use your backup software to perform
the drive cleaning operation.
To order replacement filters, contact your sales representative; see Contacting Spectra
Logic Sales on page 123.
