You can eject an RDX cartridge from the Remote Management Console.
However, with removable disk configurations, you cannot eject a cartridge
that is connected to a host computer unless you first enable the Unsafe Eject
option (see page 76 ).
To eject an RDX cartridge:
1. From the Physical Device interface, select the dock where the cartridge is
located.
2. Click
[Eject]
.
The RDX QuikStation ejects the cartridge. The dock displays “Empty” in
the tree view.

You can erase data and reformat an RDX cartridge as a single NTFS partition
from the Remote Management Console.
If you configure your RDX QuikStation as a virtual tape library, the RDX
cartridges are automatically formatted to use with the library. This format
partitions 8 MB as an NTFS file system. The rest of the cartridge’s capacity is
formatted to emulate a tape cartridge.
If you configure your RDX QuikStation as eight removable disks, the RDX
cartridges should be formatted as a single NTFS file partition. You can
reformat a cartridge from the Remote Management Console. If the disk is
connected to a host computer, you can also reformat the cartridge from the
host.

Important
Make sure that you do not have any backup jobs in progress before
you eject an RDX cartridge from the Remote Management Console.
