4.8.1 Cleaning by Operation panel

Before using the operation panel to set cleaning, make sure that the backup software will not be
executing any jobs during the cleaning process. (If necessary, take measures such as turning off the
backup software service.)
・Use a special cleaning cartridge with a bar code label that supports the drive to be
cleaned.
・Clean the drive once a month or a backup of 100 hours when cleaning is necessary
in operation.(When there is a cleaning request from the drive, clean the drive.)
・Each cleaning cartridge can be used up to 50 times.
Record the number of use, and when 50 times is reached, replace the cleaning
cartridge.
The drive will not be cleaned even if the cleaning cartridge being used has
exceeded its service life. When it's detected that a cleaning cartridge reached its
service life, it's shown to an operator panel with "REPLACE CLEANING
MEDIA".
・[Clean Drive] doesn't operate when the bar code for the cleaning cartridge is not
stuck on the cleaning cartridge. In that case, please use and clean [Move
Cartridge].
・[Clean drive] should be performed only when there are no backup software jobs
being executed.
1) Check that the cleaning cartridge is appropriate to the target drive and its use count limitation
has not been reached.
2) [Login]. See Section 4.3Login for detail.
3) Remove the magazine, and set the cleaning cartridge into the slot.
4) Select [Clean Drive] from [Commands].
5) Select the target drive to be cleaned.
6) The drive automatically performs cleaning. When the cleaning is complete, the cleaning
cartridge is returned to the slot as before.
7) Remove the magazine, and then remove the cleaning cartridge.

4.8.2 Auto Cleaning

When you use the library with backup software, please set up an Auto Cleaning
Mode Disable.
If the backup software supports the AUTO CLEANING function, use the auto
cleaning function of backup software.
The auto cleaning function enables the Library to automatically clean drives that require cleaning.
Be sure to insert the cleaning cartridge into an Inactive slot.
When the auto cleaning function is on and the drive requests cleaning, the Accessor removes the
cleaning cartridge from the unused slot and loads it into the drive. When cleaning is finished, it returns
the cartridge to the same Inactive slot.
