Inserting a Tape Cartridge

IBM Ultrium Internal Tape Drive
The Ultrium Tape Drive features an LED ( 3 in Figure 8 on page 23) that presents
a single-character code for:
v Diagnostic or maintenance functions
v Error conditions and informational messages
Table 7 on page 29 lists each single-character code that is used for diagnostic or
maintenance functions. Table 12 on page 53 lists the codes for error conditions and
informational messages. If multiple errors occur, the code with the highest priority
(represented by the lowest number) displays first. When the error is corrected, the
code with the next highest priority displays, and so on until no errors remain.
The single-character display is blank during normal operation of the tape drive.
To insert a tape cartridge:
1. Ensure that the Ultrium Tape Drive is powered-on.
2. Ensure that the write-protect switch is properly set (see "Setting the
Write-Protect Switch" on page 43).
3. Grasp the cartridge so that the write-protect switch faces you (see 1 in
Figure 9).
4. Slide the cartridge into the tape load compartment.
Notes:
a. If the cartridge is already in an ejected position and you want to reinsert it,
remove the cartridge then insert it again.
b. If the cartridge is already loaded and you cycle the power (turn it off, then
on), the tape will reload.
