Unload a Cartridge
Caution –
Possible data corruption:
Do not push the Unload button while a data
cartridge is in use. Doing so could cause the tape drive to stop writing to a tape
resulting in corrupted data on the tape.
Use the following procedure to remove cartridges from the drive.
1. Make sure the tape drive is not in use.
This is done by checking the following:
a. There are no active jobs, applications, or programs using this drive.
b. The rack mount operator panel activity indicator is steady, and NOT flashing.
c. The display window (VOP or operator panel) does not indicate any activity
relative to tape movement, such as reading, writing, or locating.
2. Unload the tape drive.
a.
Rack mounted tape drive:
Press the operator panel
Unload
button and wait for
the drive to raise the cartridge to the unload position.
The display should show an asterisk (*) when the operation is complete.
Note –
If the drive is offline, the asterisk will alternate with
Offline
.
b.
VOP unload
: Click
Drive Operations
>
Unload Tape
.
Caution –
Tape damage
:
Any resistance to removing the cartridge, beyond the usual
friction between the cartridge case and the drive, probably indicates that the leader is
not fully rewound.
If you believe the leader is not fully rewound, use the operator panel (rack-mount
drives only), VOP, or library software (if it supports that function) to attempt another
load operation followed by another unload operation. Should that fail to correct the
situation, contact your service representative about a possible stuck cartridge.
DO NOT forcibly remove a cartridge
.
3. Remove the cartridge.
a.
Rack mount drives:
Use the finger grips on the cartridge and carefully withdraw
the cartridge from the drive slot (see
).
b.
Library-attached drives:
Grip top and bottom of the cartridge with your finger
tips and carefully withdraw the cartridge from the drive slot.
Note –
A T10000 tape drive does not eject the cartridge from the tape drive as other
cartridge tape drives commonly do.
