Unloading a Cartridge
Caution:
Remove the cartridge from your DLT VS160 Drive
before turning off
the tabletop drive or the host server or
workstation for an internal drive.
Leaving a cartridge in the
drive when power is off can result in cartridge and drive
damage and may cause data loss because the
header/catalog data may not be properly written before
the drive loses power.
When you remove the cartridge from
the drive, return the cartridge to its storage case to prolong
cartridge life.
To unload a cartridge from your DLT VS160 Drive, follow these
steps:
1.
Press the
Unload/Eject
button or use your backup software
to unload the cartridge. The Ready LED blinks while the
drive rewinds the tape.
2.
When the drive has rewound the tape, it unloads the
cartridge.
