The drive will carry out its cleaning cycle and eject the cartridge on completion, which can take
between 1 (the first time that the cartridge is used) and 4 minutes (the 20
cartridge is used). During the cleaning cycle the yellow Cleaning Required LED will be on
solidly and the green Drive Status LED will flash.
Each SDLT CleaningTape cartridge can be used up to 20 times. If the cartridge has expired, it
will not clean and the yellow Cleaning Required LED will remain on.
Looking after cartridges
Caution You may damage the tape drive if you try to insert and load a damaged cartridge. If you
have dropped the cartridge or suspect it may be damaged, please refer to the "Cartridges"
topic in the online User's Guide on the HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM for more detailed
information about how to inspect it. This topic also contains comprehensive information about
looking after and handling cartridges.
• Do not touch the tape media.
• Do not attempt to clean the tape path or tape guides inside the cartridge.
• Do not leave cartridges in excessively dry or humid conditions. Do not leave cartridges in
direct sunlight or in places where magnetic fields are present (for example, under
telephones, next to monitors or near transformers).
• Do not drop cartridges or handle them roughly.
• Insert labels into the label area only.
• See the insert included with the tape cartridge for storage conditions.
