Emergency Cartridge Eject Procedure
Caution:
Avoid using this procedure. Ejecting a cartridge in this
manner can result in a loss of data and directory

would signify that the cartridge is being accessed.

result in a loss of data.
2 Press and hold the front panel cartridge eject button until the
cartridge ejects. This could take from fifteen to thirty seconds or
more.
Disregard any displayed error messages.

If the cartridge still does not eject, remove power from the
GoVault by either shutting down your workstation or
server system (internal GoVault dock), or unplugging the
power adapter/converter from the DC power jack on the
rear panel of the external GoVault Tabletop dock and use
