Table 4. Unload/Eject button features
3.2.2.1
Unload/Eject Button Feature Description
Normal Unload/Eject
When you release the button, the drive unloads and ejects the
cartridge.
Enter Code Update Mode
When you release the button, the drive is ready to accept a code
update cartridge. Insert a code update cartridge within 15
seconds to initiate an automatic code update. If you do not load
a code update cartridge within 15 seconds, the drive returns to
normal operating mode.
Write/Read Diagnostic Mode
Note:
This mode overwrites all data on the cartridge in the
drive. Use extreme caution when using this feature to avoid
loss of important data.
When you release the button, the drive initiates an internal
write/read diagnostic. The diagnostic requires that you first
load a cartridge that is blank or does not contain valuable data.
When the diagnostic begins, the drive writes and then reads
approximately 400MB of data and then unloads and ejects the
cartridge. The process takes about two minutes. If the
diagnostic test detects no errors, the drive returns to normal
operating mode. If an error occurs, the appropriate LEDs
illuminate.
