Unloading tape cartridges
To unload a tape cartridge, perform the following steps.
1.
Make sure that the 100/200 GB HH LTO Internal Tape Drive is turned on.
2. Press the Unload button. The drive rewinds the tape and places the tape
cartridge in the unload position. The status light will flash green while the tape
rewinds, and then turn off when the cartridge is ejected from the drive.
3. After the tape cartridge has been ejected, grasp the cartridge and remove it.
Emergency unload
If a cartridge fails to eject using the normal unload procedure, press and hold the
Eject button for 5 seconds. This will instruct the drive to perform an emergency
unload.
