4.2.2 Unloading a Data Cartridge
To unload a data cartridge from your tape drive, follow these steps:
1.
Press the
Unload/Eject
button or use your tape backup software to unload the data cartridge. The
Ready LED blinks while the tape drive rewinds the tape.
2.
When the tape drive has rewound the tape, it ejects the data cartridge.
3.
Remove the data cartridge from the tape drive.
4.
Return the data cartridge to its plastic storage case to prolong data cartridge life.
C
AUTION
Remove the data cartridge from your tape drive before
powering off the tape drive—or the server or workstation for
an internal tape drive. Leaving a data cartridge in the tape
drive when power is off can result in data cartridge and tape
drive damage and may cause data loss because the header/
catalog data may not be properly written before the tape drive
loses power.
