The Drive Will Not Accept the Cartridge (or Ejects It Immediately)
The cartridge may have been damaged, for example dropped, or the
drive may have a fault. If it is a cleaning cartridge, it has probably expired
and should be discarded immediately. For data cartridges:
1 Check that the drive has power (the power cable is properly
connected and the Tape LED is on).
2 Check that you are using the correct media for the tape drive, see
Using the Appropriate Media
3 Make sure that you have loaded the cartridge with the correct
orientation (see
Using the Appropriate Media
4 Check for damage to your media and discard it if it is damaged.
5 Use a new or known-good piece of media and see if it loads. If it does,
the original cartridge is faulty and should be discarded.
6 Check if another DAT drive of the same model will accept the
cartridge. If it does, the original drive may be faulty. Before calling
customer service, please check that the tape drive is responding.
