Exabyte Cleaning Cartridges
Use an Exabyte 8mm Cleaning Cartridge to clean the tape drive. The
Exabyte 8mm Cleaning Cartridge contains a shed-free fabric tape that
traps and removes debris from tape drive heads and tape paths. By
using this cleaning cartridge on a regular basis, you maintain data
integrity and improve reliability of the tape drive.
Exabyte 8mm Cleaning Cartridges come in two sizes: 3c and 12c.
Used in a half-high tape drive, the 3c cartridge offers up to 9 cleaning
passes, and the 12c cartridge can offer as many as 36 cleaning passes.
Details on the cleaning intervals are given in Chapter 4.
Note: If you are using these cleaning cartridges with Exabyte
full-high 8mm tape drives, you will get fewer cleaning passes
per cartridge. Because full-high tape drives have a longer tape
path, more material is required for each cleaning.
CAUTION
The Exabyte 8mm Cleaning Cartridge (or an Exabyte-approved
cleaning cartridge) is the only authorized method for cleaning the
tape drive. Other 8mm cleaning kits can leave fragments in the
tape path or on the heads. If you use any other type of cleaning
material, you will void the tape drive warranty.
