Description

The Quantum Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridge (MR-LUCQN-01) or Quantum LTO cleaning tape is used for cleaning LTO1 or LTO Ultrium1, LTO2 or LTO Ultrium2, LTO3 or LTO Ultrium 3, LTO4 or LTO Ultrium4, LTO5 or LTO Ultrium 5, LTO6 or LTO Ultrium6, LTO7 or LTO Ultrium7, LTO8 or LTO Ultrium 8 drives and LTO9 or LTO Ultrium 9 drives. Cleaning tapes extend the working life and read/write reliability of your LTO tape drives (LTO1 to LTO9). Periodically use the Quantum Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge MR-LUCQN-01 will help this. The Quantum LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge achieves 15-50 cleans which is dependent on the drive and the level of cleaning required each time it is used. The cleaning process takes around 30 seconds. The Quantum 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.

Quantum has combined high-tech features that are intelligently increasing productivity of the users with a Quantum LTO Ultrium solution. The number of cleanings depends on the tape drive model and amount the drive needs to be cleaned (maximum up to 50). Use the LTO Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridge if cleaning is indicated through your backup software or if the amber Cleaning LED flashes.

Most of the LTO drives incorporate self cleaning, but if not it is recommended that this MR-LUCQN-01 cartridge should be used after regular intervals. This helps to remove dirt/debris from the tape to improve the read and write process.

How to use a Quantum LTO Cleaning Cartridge

  • Insert the cleaning cartridge into the tape drive. The cartridge will automatically load and clean the heads of your LTO Ultrium tape drive or LTO tape library drive.
  • The cleaning cycle may take up to 5 minutes. During this process the bottom amber Cleaning LED stops flashing, but remains illuminated. The green Ready LED will flash once complete.
  • When the cleaning cycle is complete the drive automatically ejects the cartridge.
  • If the cartridge is ejected immediately and the Tape Error LED Flashes, the cleaning tape is expired and should be discarded. in this case use a new cleaning tape to clean the drive.
  • If this cleaning cartridge does not operate properly, a firmware upgrade may be required so contact your LTO tape drive manufacturer or their support page for further information.
