Operating the RDX QuikStor Unit
This section describes typical activities involved in operating and maintaining the RDX QuikStor unit.
For instructions on using your backup software, see the manual that came with your software.
Handling the RDX Cartridges
Although RDX cartridges are ruggedly built, they must be handled with care to ensure data integrity
and long life. Observe the following precautions:
•
Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are not using them.
•
Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt and moisture.
•
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and temperature extremes or rapid changes in temperature.
•
Never try to force the cartridge into the unit. If it is difficult to insert, check the orientation and try
again.
•
Do not drop cartridges where non-operational specifications may be exceeded.
Loading and Unloading Cartridges
The front of your unit has an opening for inserting RDX cartridges. A protective door covers the
opening. Below and to the right of the door is the power indicator that doubles as a cartridge-eject
button.
To Load a Cartridge
Insert the cartridge in the unit with the keyed corner facing the upper left corner of the unit and the
write-protect tab on the back right (see
Figure 6. Loading the Cartridge
). The cartridge only fits in one
orientation. Push the cartridge gently into the unit until it is locked in place with a clicking sound.
