Manually Removing a Tape Cartridge

If problem-determination procedures identify the tape drive as the source of the problem and you are unable to eject the tape cartridge using the eject
button, reset the drive to recover the cartridge:

1.

Press and hold the eject button for 10 seconds, then release.

¡

The status light turns amber and the drive starts through its hardware test process.

¡

When the hardware test completes, the status light turns green.

¡

If a cartridge is in the drive the status light flashes green until the cartridge is rewound.

¡

The status light turns solid green when the rewind is complete and the tape drive is ready.

2.

To eject the cartridge, push the eject button one more time. If the tape cartridge still will not eject, contact trained service personnel for assistance.
