Recovering 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, perform
the following steps to reset the drive to recover the cartridge:
1. Press and hold the eject button for 10 seconds, then release.
¡ The fault LED turns on and the drive starts through its hardware test process.
¡ When the hardware test completes, the ready/activity LED turns on.
¡ If a cartridge is in the drive, the ready/activity LED flashes green until the cartridge is rewound.
¡ The ready/activity LED turns on solid 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.
