Inserting cartridges
1. Find an empty RDX cartridge slot (8 places) in the unit to be inserted.
2. Push the RDX cartridge gently into the cartridge slot until it seats itself against the back of the unit.
3. Verify that the cartridge is properly inserted. When the cartridge indicator LED is steady green the cartridge is
ready.

6.2 Ejecting cartridges
The RDX 8000 unit has three methods to eject cartridges:
• Front Panel Cartridge Eject button
• Eject via RDX 8000 Web interface
• Manually eject cartridge via Emergency Eject Port
Figure 53 — Ejecting cartridges
Front Panel Cartridge Eject button
When allowed by the application in Tape Library mode, or when not Ejection Protected in JBOD mode, cartridges may be
ejected via the Cartridge Eject button. Cartridges are ejected by pressing the Cartridge Eject button for the appropriate
slot for approximately 2 seconds. If ejection is allowed, the eject button will flash green and the cartridge will eject
shortly. If ejection is not allowed, the eject button will flash amber and cartridge will not be ejected.
