1.
At the MCC, to remove the tape drive to be cleaned from service, type and enter the following command:
RMV:MT=
x
;
Where:
x
= tape drive number.
2.
Pour a small amount of solvent into a clean container, such as a small UNWAXED paper cup or, if the
cleaner comes in a squeeze bottle, squeeze a small amount on a lint-free cloth or swab.
CAUTION:
Alcohol dissolves wax. If you use a waxed cup, the wax transfers to the tape path. DO NOT dip
cloths or swabs into the cleaner container or touch the cloths or swabs to the lip of the open
container during pouring. This will contaminate the solvent.
3.
Use a lint-free swab or cloth and apply gentle pressure in one direction to clean the following surfaces (Refer
to Figure 11.36.3-1 for location points.):
Read/Write/Erase Head
(1)
(if swab appears dirty, repeat with a new swab)
Tape Cleaner Block
(2)
(if swab appears dirty, repeat with a new swab)
Buffer Arm Movable Roller
(3,4)
Buffer Arm Fixed Guide
(5)
Speed Encoder
(7)
Inner diameter (rubber) of the take-up reel
(6)
(this specially treated surface, if kept clean, greatly eases
the manual threading action required to attach the tape to the take-up reel).
4.
Use a lint-free wipe to brush out debris below the take-up reel and speed encoder. Brush off the tape-in path
sensor to the right of the buffer arm.
5.
Periodically check and wipe off rubber grip pads on the supply reel hub. Use a dry or damp swab or cloth. DO
NOT USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL TO CLEAN THESE FINGERS.
6.
At the MCC, to restore the cleaned tape drive to service, type and enter the following command:
RST:MT=
x
;
Where:
x
= tape drive number.
7.
Are there other tape drives to be cleaned?
If
YES
, then return to Section
11.36.1
, Step 2.
If
NO
then
STOP. YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS PROCEDURE
