Using Cartridges

Before you use the ValueLoader, make sure you observe these general
rules:
•
ValueLoader VS80.
Use only DLTtape IV tape cartridges.
•
ValueLoader VS160.
Use only DLT VS1 tape cartridges.
•
Clean the tape drive when the Clean Drive LED is illuminated
, or if there
is any other indication that the drive is having trouble reading or
writing, such as if the Media Attention LED is illuminated, or there is
an exclamation point (!) in the inventory display. Be sure to use only
DLT1 compatible cleaning cartridges. The tape drive rejects all other
types of cleaning cartridges.

Note:
The ValueLoader automatically unloads any other cartridge
types and any cartridges whose format it cannot read. If you
experience any failures with reused Quantum DLT formatted
(degaussed) cartridges, the degaussing may not have been
sufficient to fully erase the data. If this happens, use another
cartridge before suspecting other system components.
