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 and LTO-9 or LTO Ultrium 9. The C7978A HPE LTO Ultrium cleaning tape is orange in colour signifying the HPE branded LTO Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridge. They will clean between 15 and 50 times depending on the drive and it's age, and cleanlines which is dependant 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 heads which write and read the data, as well as other parts in the tape path of the drive. This cleaning process improves the performance of the drive and the quality and amount of the data backed up to the tape. As tape drives get older and out of spec, or the tapes get older the tape drive will require more cleaning and this cartridge will give a lesser number of cleans. Your drive is then becoming unreliable or the heads are failing and data written becomes poor and more difficult 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 which stands for Hewlitt Packard Enterprise media offers extreme reliability under a whole range of conditions, it is still advisable to follow a sensible procedure when handling and storing cartridges in order to maximise the life of your tapes. Many causes of recording or read errors are temporary and can be corrected by use of a cleaning cartridge. Regular drive cleaning is essential to the long-term reliability of your data on the tapes written in that drive. Regular use of the HPE LTO Ultrium cleaning cartridge should be considered 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 they can also be used on any other brand of drives as long as they show the LTO Ultrium logo. If you require LTO tape data cartridges for your HPE LTO tape libraries or stand alone HPE LTO tape drives please see HPE LTO tape data cartridges.
