- Highlight the drive that you want to clean,
then select it.
The library locates a cleaning cartridge
and moves it to the drive that you specified. The message

with the highest usage count cleans the head of the drive. For Ultrium
tape cartridges, the cleaning cycle takes up to 2 minutes. For 3592
tape cartridges, the cleaning cycle can take up to 5
minutes. The library then returns the cleaning cartridge to its original
slot and displays the message
