Mounting a Cartridge into a T9840 Drive
Important: T9840A/B and T9840C VolSafe cartridges are not interchangeable. T9840C
tape drives can read the 20-GB VolSafe tape cartridges used in T9840A and T9840B
drives, but cannot write to them. The 40-GB VolSafe tape cartridges used in T9840C
drives cause a load error when mounted in a T9840A or T9840B drive.
See “T9840 and T9940 Tape Drives” on page 4-5 for more information.
To load the cartridge in a T9840 drive:
1. Follow the steps in “Mounting and Dismounting Cartridge Tapes” on page 3-19 .
2. Insert the cartridge into the drive using the direction shown in Figure 3-13 .
3. Wait for one of the following messages to display and take the appropriate
action, if necessary:
• The
Ready A
message displays when the drive is VolSafe-enabled and
loaded with a write-enabled VolSafe cartridge.
• The
Ready F
(File Protected) message displays when a write-protected
cartridge loads successfully.
• The
Ready U
(File Unprotected) message displays when a cartridge
that is not write-protected loads successfully.
• The
NTReady
message displays when the tape in the cartridge has lost
tension. Follow the instructions outlined in the T9840 Tape Drive User’s Reference
Manual to correct this condition.
• The
LOAD xxxx
message displays when the cartridge unsuccessfully
loads, where the
xxxx
is a fault symptom code.
