    Managing devices for the 8233-E8B or 8236-E8C Learn about managing media and communications devices. The topic contains reference information that information technology (IT) personnel and service representatives can use to learn about using and managing removable media devices and communications devices. You can also find specifications and installation notes for specific devices.
  • Page 16 v Environmental issues v Tape drive cleaning v SCSI hardware issues v Microcode updates Tape drive overview Your tape drive must be installed in the cleanest possible environment. Additionally, tape drives require high quality, data grade tapes and cleaning on a regular basis. Media must also be stored and handled properly.

  • Page 17: Tape Drive Media

    Environmental issues Tape drives are designed to operate in a clean environment. Problems can be caused by dirt, dust, fibers, and airborne particles. Airborne particles are the most difficult to address. When a tape is installed into the tape drive, the clearance between the heads and the tape is measured in microns. Particles can damage the tape or the head if they come in contact with either.
  • Page 18 Cleaning cartridge Use the specially labeled cleaning cartridge to clean the device. Attention: Use of other than the IBM specified cleaning cartridge can damage your device and might void your warranty. To order additional cartridges, refer to Ordering tape cartridges.
  • Page 19 indication of this head wear is an increase in soft (recoverable) errors. Using newer tape cartridges may have enhanced characteristics that can reduce drive head wear and maximize the overall advantages of the tape device. Storage and shipping environments Before using a tape cartridge, let it acclimatize to the operating environment by placing the cartridge in the operating environment for as long as it has been away from the environment or for 24 hours, whichever is less.
  • Page 20 The length and composition of the tape, and the size, shape, and construction of the cartridge shell must all be considered when selecting the tape cartridge to be used with your system. IBM supports using only data and cleaning cartridges supplied by IBM. Use only data-grade tape media for backup and data processing.
