  • Simple, non-disruptive installation and use: Cleaning cartridges are designed to integrate with standard LTO drive workflows. When it’s time to clean, you simply insert the cartridge following your drive’s instructions and initiate the cleaning cycle through the device’s controls or library software. The process is fast, typically completed within a few minutes, and does not require special tools. After cleaning, remove the cartridge and store it in its protective packaging until the next maintenance window. This straightforward approach minimizes downtime while maximizing the reliability of your tape operations.

How to install Overland-Tandberg LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge

Note: Always follow your specific drive or library manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning operations and cartridge handling. The steps below provide a general, standard approach compatible with most LTO devices.

Step 1: Power down the device and secure the workspace. Ensure that the LTO drive or library is in a safe state and that all access doors are closed as you prepare to insert the cleaning cartridge. This minimizes the risk of triggering alarms or interfering with ongoing operations.

Step 2: Access the cleaning cartridge bay. Open the drive or library door according to the vendor’s guidelines and locate the cartridge slot or cleaning port. If your system uses a carousel, magazine, or dedicated cleaning bay, follow the established sequence to reach the appropriate slot.

Step 3: Prepare the cartridge for insertion. Remove the Overland-Tandberg cleaning cartridge from its protective packaging if it is still sealed. Confirm that the barcode label is visible and oriented in a way that will be readable by your asset-tracking workflow. Align the cartridge with the drive’s slot orientation as specified by your device’s user manual.

Step 4: Insert the cartridge and initiate cleaning. Gently insert the cartridge into the slot until it seats fully. Initiate the cleaning cycle through the drive’s front panel, software interface, or library management system as appropriate. Do not force the cartridge; if it doesn’t insert smoothly, remove it and try again or consult the device’s documentation for the correct orientation.

Step 5: Complete the cleaning cycle and remove the cartridge. Allow the drive to finish its cleaning sequence before removing the cartridge. If your system prompts you to replace or discard the cartridge after cleaning, follow those directions. Return the cartridge to its storage location or continue with the next unit in your maintenance plan. For traceability, record the cleaning event in your maintenance log using the barcode label to scan the cartridge or the kit’s batch information if applicable.

Step 6: Store and plan future maintenance. After use, keep the cleaning cartridge in its original packaging or in a designated protective case to prevent contamination. Maintain an organized stock of the 5-pack to support ongoing maintenance across your fleet of LTO drives, ensuring you have ready replacements on hand for scheduled cleanings or when diagnostic tools indicate a cleaning is required.
