Tape drive maintenance

Introduction

Preventive maintenance of the tape drive involves periodic

cleaning (after every four to six hours of use). Establish a

regular cleaning schedule and observe the following

precautions:

• Maintain a clean, dust-free environment within the

temperature and humidity limits listed in the

specifications of the Meridian Mail system.

• Keep all liquids away from the drive and tapes to prevent

spills into the equipment.

• Exercise reasonable care when you use and store tape

cartridges. Do not place cartridges on the Meridian Mail

or Meridian 1 cabinets or the monitor of the system

administrator’s terminal.

• When a stored tape is moved to an environment with a

greatly different temperature, allow the tape to reach

room temperature slowly before using it.

• Do not open the cartridge access door to touch the tape.

The tape drive should be replaced when you receive repeated

errors when you write to tape. Also, replace the tape drive if

the light on the front of the tape drive is out or you cannot

hear or see the tape spinning.
