Emergency Eject Hole
In an emergency, such as a power outage, the cartridge can be manually
ejected by inserting a tool into this opening. Read the complete
instructions in the section titled “Ejecting a Cartridge Without Power.”
Loading a Cartridge
Loading a data cartridge is very much like loading a diskette.
1. Make sure the OptiPac is turned on before you load a cartridge.
2. Remove the cartridge from its plastic storage case.
3. Insert the cartridge into the drive slot with the label side up and push
the cartridge straight in, keeping it parallel with the top and bottom of
the drive.
4. Slide the cartridge all the way into the drive.
The activity LED on the front of the removable drive will flash green as
the drive spins up. After a brief test, the LED will extinguish when the
drive is ready. Thereafter, the status LED will flash whenever the
removable disk is accessed.

CAUTION:
Never move or transport the OptiPac with a cartridge in the drive. This
may damage the cartridge and cause read/write head damage.
Compatibility
The OptiPac subsystems read, write, and format ISO 128MB, 230MB,
640MB cartridges, and the GIGAMO 1.3GB MO cartridge. The number of
rings is reduced with the smaller capacity cartridges. For full fixed disk
backup capabilities, the GIGAMO 1.3GB cartridges should be used.
