Removing Stuck Cartridges

If the ValueLoader experiences a severe mechanical problem or if you
need to remove cartridges because of a power failure or other
circumstance in which the ValueLoader is unable to export the cartridges
in the carousel, follow these steps:
1
Move the power switch on the front panel to the OFF position. You
may need to use the tip of a pen or similar item to move the power
switch.
“!” in ValueLoader
operator panel inventory
display
• An exclamation point (!) displayed in the inventory indicates
that the ValueLoader has identified a cartridge in the indicated
slot that is either an invalid cartridge type (DLTtapeIII
cartridge or non-DLT1 cleaning cartridge) or has had media-
related error. These can be caused by faulty or improperly
degaussed media, media that has been previously written in
an invalid format such as DLT7000 or DLT8000, or dirty read/
write heads in the tape drive. The Media Attention LED is also
illuminated in this case (see
Exporting the indicated cartridge will clear the error condition
on page 26). If these symptoms
occur on multiple known good cartridges, consider cleaning
on page 30). If a
particular cartridges causes these symptoms repeatedly, that
cartridge may be defective or invalid.
There is an error code on
the LCD display
• Look up the error code, and try to resolve the failure, and
power cycle.
Note:
Contact Customer Support if a cartridge is stuck in the drive.
