AUTO CLEAN Feature

Drives might occasionally require cleaning to prevent read/write errors.
When your LSM is configured during installation, the AUTO CLEAN feature can
be enabled. You can use the View Config section of Figure 2–4 in Chapter 2 to
determine whether the feature is enabled. If it is, then when a drive needs cleaning,
the robot will receive a software message telling it to retrieve the cleaning cartridge
from the cleaning cartridge cell in the LSM and place it into the drive.
If AUTO CLEAN is not enabled, you must periodically look at the lights on the
drive. When the Use Cleaning Cartridge light is on, you must place a cleaning
cartridge into the drive.
Refer to "Setting Cleaning Cartridge Count" in Chapter 2 and "Replacing the
Cleaning Cartridge" in Chapter 3 for more information and procedures.
