Using SCSI Commands
You can use SCSI commands to read, write, erase, and search for data.
You can also copy microcode, inquire about tape drive status, set
operating parameters, and perform diagnostic tests using SCSI
commands.
For information on these commands and how to use them, see
Chapter 5.
Preventive Maintenance
Except for cleaning, the tape drive has no user serviceable
adjustments or maintenance procedures. All service or repairs to the
tape drive must be performed by Exabyte Corporation or authorized
service personnel.
Cleaning the Tape Drive
The tape drive’s tape heads and tape path should be cleaned on a
regular basis. The only cleaning material authorized for use with the
tape drive is an Exabyte or Exabyte-approved 8mm cleaning cartridge.
CAUTION
To prevent contamination of the tape drive and damage to the
heads, do not attempt to rewind the material in the cleaning
cartridge and reuse it. Discard the cleaning cartridge after you have
used it for the specified number of cleaning cycles.
Using any cleaning cartridges not approved by Exabyte will void
the warranty on the tape drive.
For more information on Exabyte cleaning cartridges, see Chapter 1.
For instructions for using the cleaning cartridge, refer to EXB-8205
and EXB-8505 Installation and Operation.
