Operating and maintaining the Scorpion 40

This chapter describes how to use your internal or external
Scorpion 40. It describes how to use and care for DDS
cartridges. It also explains the meaning of the LEDs on the
front of the drive.

Loading a cartridge

Seagate DDS drives have a front-loading cartridge bay for
easy operation. The drive-bay door opens automatically when
a cartridge is inserted. Figure 10 shows a cartridge being
inserted into a 3.5-inch internal drive. After you insert the
cartridge, there will be a brief delay while the drive identifies
the cartridge type and state and moves the tape to the data
area.
