Inserting a DAT tape

COMPACT

Hold the cassette with its metal plate downward and the open tape
edge towards the computer. Without using undue force, press the
cassette against the drive tape slot. The dust cover will swing open
allowing the tape cassette to enter. Push firmly home. With some
models of drive, the cassette does not enter the drive completely.
The ‘Cassette engaged’ green light should come on.

Removing a DAT tape

Wait until the drive active light goes out and all activity has ceased,
then press the Eject button. The cassette will move outwards and is
easily lifted clear.

Care of DAT cassettes

Always store cassettes in their original dust tight cases. Keep them
away from dust, moisture, magnetic objects, and equipment that
generates magnetic fields (such as telephones or monitors). Avoid
extremes of temperature and exposure to direct sunlight. Regularly
check your backup tapes for wear or damage.
