11.1.2 Notes on DAT Tape Drive Use
When inserting a DAT cartridge in a DAT tape drive, position the tape cartridge with the hinged portion for-
ward; typically, there is an embossed arrow on the front edge of the top of the tape. Insert the tape with the
arrow pointing toward the drive. Press gently when a slight resistance is met; normally the drive will then
transport and load the tape into the drive. DO NOT FORCE THE TAPE.
