By default, the library operates in Native emulation mode and returns the product identification, “EXABYTE “, “MAGNUM 224 “ in response to a SCSI INQUIRY command from an application.
If your library software has not yet been certified for the StorageLibrary T24 LTO, you can select an option in Table 3-3, which lists the available emulation modes for the library.
Note: If you change the emulation mode, you will need to reboot your host computer so that it recognizes the new emulation mode.

LEANINGThe Autoclean option enables the library to automatically perform tape drive cleaning without operator intervention. When Autoclean is enabled, the library monitors the cleaning requirements of the tape drive(s). When a tape drive indicates it needs cleaning, the library loads the cleaning cartridge into the tape drive. After the cleaning cycle is complete, the tape drive unloads and ejects the cleaning cartridge, and the library resumes operation.
Note: You do not have to use the library’s Autoclean option to clean the tape drive(s). You can choose from several other cleaning methods, including using your backup application’s cleaning function and using commands available through the operator panel. See page 133 for information about these cleaning alternatives.
Setting up automatic tape drive cleaning involves two procedures:
Activating the Cleaning Cartridge Cell
Enabling the Autoclean Option Activating the Cleaning Cartridge CellActivating the cleaning cartridge cell designates the storage location for a cleaning cartridge. Use one of the following options:
Slot/Cell 2—if the I/E Port is enabled
Slot/Cell 1—if the bottom I/E Port is disabledNote: The library ships from the factory with the I/E Port enabled. In order to use that slot/cell as the fixed cleaning slot, you need to disable it. See “Enabling and Disabling the I/E Port” on page 45.
To activate the cleaning cartridge cell:
1. At the Home screen, press Maint.
If necessary, enter the operator panel password (see page 73).
!
Important If you plan to use automatic cleaning, the cleaning cartridge should be stored in: Slot/Cell 2—if the I/E Port is enabled
Slot/Cell 1—if the I/E Port is disabled
If your backup application has a cleaning option, be sure to turn that option OFF.
2. Press until the selection arrow ( ) points to Cleaning Options.
3. Press Select.
