Inserting the Cleaning Cartridge
See the Note below for 4U libraries with a Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS).
The following criteria must be followed for Auto Clean to function:
1. The Auto Clean function must be configured ″On″ or ″Enabled″.
v OCP: Configure->Library Settings->Enabled
v Web Interface: Configure Library->General->Auto Clean->checkmark
Note:
Earlier versions of the 4U library contained a Dedicated Cleaning Slot
(DCS). This DCS can be retained and is supported by future library
firmware updates. However, library firmware later than 1.95 will allow
removal of the DCS, thus enabling this slot to be used as a storage
slot. Once the DCS is removed, the Auto Clean cleaning cartridge slot
must be configured as described below. To remove the DCS, perform
the following procedure using the Operator Control Panel (OCP):
OCP->Configure->Library Settings->General->Remove
DCS->No/Yes->Save.
2.
A storage slot must be reserved (Res or RSVD).
v Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any
particular logical library. A reserved slot (or slots) is always the last slot in
the last magazine of any particular logical library. A cleaning cartridge that is
in a reserved slot is available to any logical library drive even if the reserved
slot is not in that particular logical library. If the library contains multiple
logical libraries, typically, the last logical library is chosen to be the reserved
slot containing the cleaning cartridge. As with a library with a single logical
library, this slot is the last physical slot in the library (top right magazine,
uppermost rear slot).
3.
A cleaning cartridge (CLNUxxL1) must be placed or moved to a reserved slot.
v A cleaning cartridge must be replaced after 50 uses. Click on the remote web
interface, Monitor Library->Inventory (-) on the magazine containing the
cleaning cartridge to determine the cleaning cartridge usage count.
