CAUTION:
Potential equipment damage : Before mounting a cartridge into the drive,
make sure that power is on, and that the Operate Handle indicator is on.
Use the drive shuttle to operate, not the drive handle.
A safety mechanism protects the drive if you try to operate it in an
incorrect state. The shuttle will not operate if this mechanism is
activated. To reset the safety mechanism, wait for the
Operate Handle
indicator to turn on. Pull firmly on the shuttle, then push the shuttle in
completely. If the cartridge did not eject, or if the handle did not rise, pull
and push again.
To mount a cartridge into a DLT drive:
1. Follow the steps in “Mounting and Dismounting Cartridge Tapes” on page 3-19 .
2. Make sure that the DLT handle is up and the cartridge handle hook and hub
are down. (See Figure 3-11 on page 3-21 for more information.)
CAUTION:
Potential equipment damage : Insert the cartridge properly or you will
damage the drive. Use only DLT cartridges for DLT drives.
3. Hold the cartridge so that the VOLSER is facing you and the write protect
switch is on the right side of the cartridge, as shown in Figure 3-12 .
