7.4.2.1 Inserting a Tape Cartridge
The following steps describe how to insert a tape cartridge in the drive, as
well as the state of the TZ30 LEDs when the VS 3100 system is powered up.
See Figure 7-13.
1. The green, yel1ow and orange LEDs light steadily for about 2 seconds
while running self-tests.
2. The green and orange LEDs go out and the yellow LED blinks, indicating
that the self-test is still running.
3. The green LED lights (and the beeper sounds) indicating that self-tests
completed successfully and the cartridge insert/release lever is ready for
operation.
When the green LED is on steadily, slide the lever to the open position
and insert the cartridge. (If an error occurs when you insert the cartridge
the green LED blinks and the tape does not move. Try another cartridge.)
Return the lever to the closed position.
4. The green LED goes off and the yellow LED blinks regularly to indicate
that the tape is loading.
5. When the tape is positioned at the beginning-of-tape (BOT) marker in the
drive, the yellow LED lights steadily. The tape is now ready for use.
