Inserting And Using A Tape Cartridge - Digital Equipment VAX 4000 Model 100 Operator Instructions Manual

2.2.2 Inserting and Using a Tape Cartridge

To insert a tape cartridge, follow these steps:
1. Slide the operate lever to the unlock position.
2. Insert the tape cartridge following these rules:
• If you insert the tape cartridge more than half-way into the drive, you
must insert the tape cartridge fully.
• If you want to use another tape cartridge, insert the tape cartridge
fully, unload the tape cartridge, and then remove it.
• If you cannot insert the tape cartridge into the TZ30, move the operate
lever to the lock position. Then move the operate lever to the unlock
position and reinsert the tape cartridge.
• Do not push the tape cartridge into the TZ30 while moving the operate
lever between the lock and unlock positions. If you do so, the TZ30
interprets this action as an insertion of the tape cartridge.
The green LED turns on.
3. Move the operate lever to the lock position to lock the tape cartridge in the
drive.
The green LED turns off, and the yellow LED starts to flash, indicating
that the tape is loading. When you load the tape and it is ready for use,
the yellow LED stays on. When the yellow LED stays on and the green
LED stays off, the tape is ready to use.
See the VAX 4000 Model 100 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Information
manual if errors occur while you are using the TZ30 tape drive.
