To manually mount a cartridge

▼
1. Whether you manually insert a T9x40 cartridge or an LTO Ultrium cartridge, the
VOLID label must be facing you, with the numeric characters C DQXG the bar code.
2. Do not force the cartridge into the tape drive. If you feel some resistance as you
insert the cartridge, make sure you are installing the cartridge into the appropriate
tape drive.
3. T9840 and T9940 tape drives look very similar, but you cannot put 9840 cartridges in
a T9940 tape drive, nor put 9940 cartridges in T9840 tape drive.
Never attempt to insert an LTO Ultrium cartridge in a T9x40 tape drive. However, you
can insert an LTO Ultrium cartridges in either an IBM or HP Ultrium tape drive.
