Unload/Eject Button Feature Description
Normal Unload/Eject
When you release the button, the drive unloads and ejects the cartridge.
Write/Read Diagnostic Mode
NOTICE: 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.
