Main Enclosure - Alpha Microsystems AM-6000 Owner's Manual

Preventive Maintenance
Whenever the tape cartridge status light flashes, you should clean the drive heads with a cleaning
cartridge.
As routine maintenance, the drive heads should be cleaned after every 50 hours of operation.
To clean the heads on the DAT drive, use a DAT cleaning cartridge designed for your drive. The
cleaning cartridge contains the correct recognition holes to allow the DAT drive to identify it as a
cleaning cartridge.
Follow these general guidelines to use the cleaning cartridge:
1. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the DAT drive. The drive will immediately detect that this is a
cleaning cartridge.
2. The drive will load and run the cartridge in about 10 seconds, then it will be ejected.

MAIN ENCLOSURE

The computer main enclosure is sturdy painted sheet metal and plastic. Clean it as you would any other
painted surface, using a gentle detergent. Remember, however, that if any liquid makes its way inside
the enclosure, severe damage to the computer could result. So, a light dusting is the safest cleaning
procedure, and probably all the main enclosure will require.
