If you need to remove cartridges from the autoloader when power is
unavailable, either due to a general power failure or a failure of the
autoloader’s power supply, you can operate the cartridge access port door
manually. The autoloader has a small hole in the faceplate that allows access to
a gear shaft attached to the cartridge access port door (see Figure 5-5 ). Using a
#0 Phillips screwdriver, you can turn the gear shaft to open the cartridge
access port door.
Note: If a cartridge is loaded in the tape drive when power to the autoloader fails
and you need to remove that cartridge, you must remove the tape drive
from the autoloader (see page 91 for instructions). If the autoloader’s
power supply failed, you can attach the tape drive to another power
source, such as an available power connector in a server and use the tape
drive’s unload button to remove the cartridge. If a general power failure
occurred, contact Exabyte Technical Support (see page iii ) for information
about removing the cartridge from the tape drive manually.
