To insert a DAT cassette, slide the cassette into the DAT
drive with the label facing up (see Figure 5-2).
When a DAT cassette is inserted into the cassette port, the
DAT drive automatically loads it into the drive mechanism,
threads the tape, and performs a load sequence that lasts
about 25 seconds. The load sequence tests the tape and the
read/write circuitry in the DAT drive. Refer to Table 5-2
for the status of DAT cassette and DAT drive busy lights
during the cassette load operation.
To eject a DAT cassette, press the cassette eject button on
the front panel of the DAT drive (see Figure 5-3).
When the eject button is pressed, the DAT drive starts
an eject sequence that lasts about 15 seconds. The eject
sequence winds the tape to the beginning, unthreads the
tape, and ejects the DAT cassette. After the DAT cassette
has been ejected, pull the DAT cassette straight out of the
cassette port. Refer to Table 5-2 for the status of DAT
cassette and DAT drive busy lights during the cassette eject
operation.
Some application software may prohibit the ejection of a
DAT cassette until the user exits the application program.
