Description
The HP now called HPE LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge C7978A is designed for use in all LTO Ultrium drives including; LTO-1 or LTO Ultrium 1, LTO-2 or LTO Ultrium 2, LTO-3 or LTO Ultrium 3, LTO-4 or LTO Ultrium 4, LTO-5 or LTO Ultrium 5, LTO-6 or LTO Ultrium 6, LTO-7 or LTO Ultrium 7, LTO-8 or LTO Ultrium 8, LTO-9 or LTO Ultrium 9 and LTO-10 or LTO Ultrium 10. The C7978A HPE LTO Ultrium cleaning tape is orange, indicating it is an HPE-branded LTO Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridge. It can clean between 15 and 50 times, depending on the drive and its age, and the number of clean lines depends on the quality, age, and storage environment of the LTO tapes you are using. The cleaning process takes around 30 seconds. The HPE LTO cleaning tape cleans the write and read heads, as well as other parts of the drive's tape path. This cleaning process improves the drive's performance and the quality and amount of data backed up to tape. As tape drives age and go out of spec, or as the tapes age, the tape drive will require more cleaning, and this cartridge will allow fewer cleans. Your drive may then become unreliable, or the heads may fail, and the data written becomes poor and harder to read. This is a good time to call for service if you still have maintenance cover or consider replacing the tape drive.
For the option of LTO barcode labels attached to your tapes, please see Application of Tape Barcode Labels for details.
Although HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) media offers extreme reliability across a wide range of conditions, it is still advisable to follow a sensible procedure when handling and storing cartridges to maximise the life of your tapes. Many causes of recording or read errors are temporary and can be corrected with a cleaning cartridge. Regular drive cleaning is essential for the long-term reliability of data written to the tapes on that drive. Use the HPE LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge on a scheduled cycle, as well as when requested by the drive. This HPE LTO Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge is designed for use with HP and HPE LTO Ultrium drives and can also be used with drives from other brands as long as they display the LTO Ultrium logo. If you need LTO tape data cartridges for your HPE LTO tape libraries or stand-alone HPE LTO tape drives, see the HPE LTO tape data cartridges page.
