the cleaning cartridge and the autoloader returns it to the cartridge access
port for removal.
Alternatively, you can store a cleaning cartridge in one of the cartridge
slots. You use the
Load command from the Commands menu to move the
slot containing the cleaning cartridge into position and load the cartridge
into the tape drive. When the cleaning is complete, the tape drive ejects
the cleaning cartridge and the autoloader returns it to the slot from which
it originated. Although this alternative lets you always have the cleaning
cartridge in the autoloader, it has following disadvantages:
• You have to remember which slot your cleaning cartridge is in.
• The autoloader's data storage capacity is reduced by one cartridge.
Some software applications may support reserving a slot for a cleaning
cartridge and thereby automate the cleaning process. Refer to your
software documentation if your software has this capability.
Shipping the Autoloader 4
If you need to ship the autoloader, use the original shipping carton and
packing materials (or replacement packaging obtained from the vendor)
to prevent damage. The shipping carton and packing materials are not
intended to be used for shipping items other than or in addition to the
autoloader.
