Replace Expired Cleaning Tapes Using the Remote Interface

Use the remote interface to replace cleaning cartridges in the reserved system cells.

  1. From the remote interface, select Library in the left menu.
  2. If the library is partitioned, unassign the mailslot before proceeding (see Unassign the Mailslot).
  3. Right-click on the expired cleaning tape, and move it to the mailslot (see Move Tape Cartridges with the Remote Interface).
  4. Open the mailslot and remove the expired cleaning tape (see Open the Mailslot).
  5. Dispose of the expired tape promptly, so that expired tapes are not inadvertently reused.
  6. Place a new cleaning tape in the mailslot. Then close the mailslot (see Close the Mailslot).
  7. Move the new cleaning tape from the mailslot to the reserved system slot (see Move Tape Cartridges with the Remote Interface).
