How to Initiate the Function
Press and hold the Unload button until the drive begins the
reset procedure (Fault light will turn On when reset starts).
Note: If a tape cartridge is loaded in the drive the drive will
unload the tape. Repeat the Reset the drive procedure
after the tape is unloaded. The drive saves a dump of the
current drive state, then reboots to allow
communication. Do not cycle power as this will erase the
contents of the dump.
To insert a tape cartridge:
1 Ensure that the drive is powered-on.
2 Ensure that the write-protect switch on the tape cartridge is
properly set (see
3 Grasp the cartridge so that the write-protect switch faces you.
4 Slide the cartridge into the tape load compartment.
Note: If the cartridge is already in an ejected position and you
want to reinsert it, remove the cartridge then insert it
again. If the cartridge is already loaded and you cycle the
power (turn it off, then on), the tape will reload.
