Cartridge Drive Checks; System Checkout Wrap-Up - Honeywell Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 User Manual

3.1.5 Cartridge Drive Checks

1. First, select a cartridge and check that the protect switch is in the
position (see Figure 1-4) on the cartridge.
2. Drive power is supplied by the tower #1 power supply. If power is off, the latch pin in
the drive prevents cartridge insertion. Carefully insert the cartridge in the drive loading
slot (see Figure 1-4). Note the green LED on the drive blinks for 5 to 10 seconds while
the disk comes up to speed, then goes on steady as the yellow LED flashes (only once
at this time) to indicate drive access. The green LED remains on steadily as long as the
cartridge is in service. The yellow LED will flash periodically when software writes or
reads the disk in the future, but the period of the flash will be very brief.
DON'T attempt to remove the cartridge from the drive while the green LED is ON or BLINKING.
Also, DON'T attempt to move the protect switch on the cartridge while the cartridge is installed
in the drive.
Serious damage may result to the cartridge or the drive if these cautions are not heeded.
3. When you wish to remove the cartridge, press the stop button on the drive and note the
green LED blinks for several seconds, then goes off. Only then may you safely
remove the cartridge.
