On the iSeries, I've simply put the disk in, let it sit in there for a while
(minute or two) and then ejected it.  It's just the spinning and attempting
to read a track where those little brushes are that clean it up.  Never had
any problems.

Subject: Cleaning Optical Disk Drive


Instructions on DVD-optical drive cleaning kit (19P0489) directed our
computer operator to "1. Open Windows and insert Lens Cleaner into CD-ROM,
DVD, or DVD-RAM drive. 2) Select "Run" from the "start" or "file" menu in
the Program Manager. 3) Type D:\LENS.EXE and click on OK (If "D" is not your
CD-ROM, DVD, or DVD-RAM drive letter, substitute with correct drive letter).
4) Program will begin. Click on desired language. Cleaning program will
begin automatically..."

Has anyone used one of these kits? If we put the cleaning disk in the
optical reader we cannot access the reader device from our network to
execute the program residing on the "D:" drive. Are not ".exe" objects
programs that are executed on PC's and not the iSeries? The disk does need
to be placed in the optical disk reader since the disk does have brushes
protruding from the lower surface to perform the cleaning. We have gone to
the source of our purchase for an answer to this question and have waited
weeks for an answer. We need to find the answer due to a workload backing
up.
