IBM 3592 Cleaning Cartridge 18P7535 – 1/2 Inch Tape
The IBM 3592 Cleaning Cartridge (Part No. 18P7535) is a vital maintenance tool designed to uphold the performance and longevity of IBM 3592 tape drives. Engineered to meet the rigorous standards of IBM’s media and storage-drive technology, this cartridge plays a critical role in preventing read/write errors caused by debris accumulation on the tape path and drive components.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal drive functionality. The 3592 tape drive automatically initiates a cleaning cycle under specific conditions: after more than 5,000 mounts, following 20 full file passes of data, or when the system detects a degraded head or channel condition. Neglecting these maintenance cues can lead to debris buildup on the read/write head, potentially resulting in drive malfunction or data loss.
The IBM 3592 Cleaning Cartridge is equipped with cartridge memory (CM), which tracks the number of times it has been used. Once the cartridge reaches its 50-use limit, it must be replaced to ensure continued effectiveness. If an expired cartridge is loaded, the drive will automatically eject it and display a status message indicating that cleaning was not performed.
