A.6 Unloading a Data Cartridge
Follow these steps to unload a data cartridge; refer to Figure A-7 on page A-9 as needed.
1. Press the Eject button (or issue an appropriate system software command); the tape drive
completes any active writing of data to the media, then rewinds. The Drive Status LED flashes as
the media rewinds.
When the media is finished rewinding, the tape drive ejects the data cartridge and the Drive Status
LED lights steadily.
2. Remove the data cartridge from the tape drive and return the data cartridge to its plastic case to
protect it from damage.
C AUTION Remove the data cartridge from the tape drive BEFORE
turning off host power. Failure to remove a data cartridge may
result in data cartridge or tape drive damage.
Do NOT rush removal of the data cartridge. Wait until the
tape drive ejects the data cartridge and the Drive Status LED
lights steady before removing the data cartridge.
