Configuring, Installing, and Operating the Tape System
2-34
Quantum DLT 8000 Tape System
2.5.1 Unload Button
Use the Unload Button to unload the tape cartridge. When a user pushes the Unload
Button, the tape system waits until any active writing of data to tape is completed, then
begins its unload sequence.
The tape system rewinds the tape medium back into the cartridge and writes the current
or updated tape directory to the tape. The tape must be completely rewound and
unloaded into the cartridge before the cartridge can be removed from the tape system. A
complete unload operation may take 17 seconds from Beginning of Tape (BOT).
Note that if the tape system is in an error state (all indicators on the right- or left-hand
side of the front panel are flashing), pushing the Unload Button causes the tape system
to reset and unload the tape, if possible.
2.5.2 Cartridge Insert/Release Handle
Use the Cartridge Insert/Release Handle to load or eject a tape cartridge only when the
tape system’s Operate Handle indicator is illuminated. Lift the handle to its fully open
position, or lower it to its fully closed position.
