HPE LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge - Professional Tape Drive Maintenance Solution

The HPE C7978A LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge is an essential maintenance tool designed for LTO Ultrium tape drives. This universal cleaning solution ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tape storage systems by effectively removing debris and contaminants from drive heads.

Universal Compatibility and Cleaning Capacity

This professional-grade cleaning cartridge offers comprehensive compatibility with all manufacturers' LTO Ultrium 1, 2, 3, and 4 drives. Each cartridge provides up to 50 cleaning cycles, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining your tape drive's performance.

Key Features:
  • Universal compatibility across LTO Ultrium drives
  • Up to 50 cleaning cycles per cartridge
  • 319-meter tape length for thorough cleaning
  • Built-in RF LTO-CM (cartridge memory) tracking

Advanced Cleaning Technology and Monitoring

The cleaning process utilizes a sophisticated algorithm specific to each drive manufacturer, ensuring optimal cleaning results. The integrated RF LTO-CM technology monitors usage and automatically tracks cleaning cycles, preventing overuse and ensuring reliable maintenance procedures.

Technical Specifications and Details

  • Manufacturer: Hewlett Packard Enterprise
  • Model: C7978A
  • Weight: 10.08 oz
  • Country of Origin: Japan
  • Tape Technology: LTO

Maintenance Best Practices

For optimal tape drive performance, initiate cleaning when the drive's "use cleaning cartridge" signal activates. Track usage carefully and replace the cartridge once it reaches the maximum number of uses specified for your drive model. The built-in cartridge memory helps prevent overuse by automatically signaling when the cleaning capacity is exhausted.

LTO-Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge is compatible with all manufacturers' LTO Ultrium 1, 2, 3 and 4 drives and provides up to 50 cleanings or as many as your particular drive allows. Cleaning is done by shuffling a specific amount of tape over the drive head based on a specific cleaning algorithm that is unique to each drive manufacturer. Cleaning reduces built-up or stains that get deposited on drive heads and should be done whenever the drive's "use cleaning cartridge" signal is flashing. It is recommended that you keep track of the number of times you use the cartridge and discard it after it reaches the maximum number of uses for your drive model. In addition, the cartridge has an RF (radio frequency) LTO-CM (cartridge memory) that keeps track of the number of times your cartridge has been used. Most drives will read the CM, see when your drive has been used the maximum number of times, and will no longer use that cleaning cartridge.
