Notes:
1. The 7206 Tape Drive needs cleaning when the tape drive turns on the Fault
status light (solid amber). The light turns on when:
v The 7206 Tape Drive determines that its soft error rate (recovered errors)
exceeds a preset soft-error rate limit, or
v The 7206 Tape Drive has been used for 50 tape motion hours without
cleaning. Tape motion hours are defined as the time the tape drive is moving
tape.
When the Fault light turns on (solid amber), the 7206 Tape Drive causes AIX to
log an information error (TAPE_ERR6) in the AIX log, indicating that the tape
drive needs to be cleaned.
2. IBM only supports the use of IBM media.
3. The 7206 Tape Drive is designed to operate in normal office environments.
Dirty environments or other poor environments may damage the tape drive. It
is the responsibility of the customer to provide the proper operating
environment.
4. When the tape drive indicates that the drive needs to be cleaned, it is the
responsibility of the customer to clean the tape drive with the recommended
cleaning cartridge.
5. If a DDS2 diagnostic cartridge (P/N 8191146) is used in the 7206 Tape Drive,
that cartridge will do automatic diagnostics.
6. If a DDS1 diagnostic cartridge (P/N 21F8762) is used, that cartridge will be
immediately ejected as an incorrect cartridge type.
