Moving Tapes In The Autoloader (Operations > Move Tape) - HP StorageWorks 1/8 User's And Service Manual

IMPORTANT:
If the cleaning cartridge is not a valid cleaning cartridge, the LCD screen displays Invalid Tape and
the cartridge is returned to its original location.
IMPORTANT:
If the Clean LED or the Attention LED (on load or unload) lights when inserting the same cartridge
after you have cleaned the drive, there may be a problem with that cartridge.
If you use the operator control panel to clean the tape drive, load the cleaning cartridge into the
mailslot or any other empty slot before beginning the cleaning steps. If you would like to keep a
cleaning cartridge in the device, the backup software must manage tape drive cleaning or be
configured to bypass the slot containing the cleaning cartridge.
To clean the tape drive:
1. Make sure a cleaning cartridge is in the mailslot or one of the magazines.
2. From the Home Screen, press Previous or Next until the screen displays Operations. Press Enter
to select.
3. Press Previous or Next until the screen displays Clean Drive. Press Enter to select.
4. Use Previous or Next until the screen displays Drive. The second line can display either Clean
Required or Good.
5. Press Enter. The screen displays either Cleaning Tape Slot 4 or Cleaning Tape Slot XX, where XX
represents flashing blocks. If a slot number is displayed, the tape in that slot has a bar code label
identifying the tape as a cleaning tape. If a slot number is displayed, continue to Step 6. If no
slot number is displayed, it indicates that the device is not able to detect that a cleaning tape
with a bar code is in the device. In this case, the operator must select the slot where a cleaning
tape resides.
6. Use Previous or Next to display the location of a cleaning tape.
7. When the correct location for the cleaning tape is displayed, press Enter to select. While the
device cleans the drive, Cleaning Drive in progress it displays.
8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, the screen displays either Cleaning Drive Complete, or
Cleaning Drive Failed. If the cleaning cycle failed, press Enter to display the error code and
message explaining the failure.
The device returns the cleaning cartridge to the original slot. If you loaded the cartridge from the front
panel, you should now unload it either by using the mailslot, or by removing the magazine. When
the tape drive cleaning cycle is complete, the Clean LED turns off (if previously on).
