Quantum DLT 4000 Tape Drive
D.4 LOADING A TAPE CARTRIDGE
Complete this subsection to load a tape cartridge into the front panel (Chapter 2,
Figure 2-10) of the tape drive. Because this subsection of the manual refers to
some of the front panel LEDs and controls, it may be useful to review information
in chapter 2.5 that describe them.
1. Only when the green Operate Handle LED is steadily lit and when the
audible beep sounds, lift the tape drive’s cartridge Insert/Release handle.
If the green Operate Handle LED is blinking, close the handle and wait for
the LED to light steadily, then lift the handle and insert the cartridge.
2. Insert the cartridge. Push the cartridge fully into the tape drive.
CAUTION
To prevent failures and/or damage to the handle, assist the handle
to its closed position. Do not flip it down or otherwise treat it
roughly.
3.
Push the handle to its closed (down) position.
The green Operate Handle LED extinguishes and the amber Tape in Use
LED blinks to show that the tape is loading. When the tape reaches the
BOT marker, the amber LED lights steadily. The tape is now ready for use.
