Loading/Unloading Cartridges Manually
When the library is offline, you can—after taking adequate precautions—load
a cartridge into a drive or unload a cartridge from a drive. The following
pages provide manual load and unload procedures for DLT, Ultrium, and
9840 drives.
Note
If you manually load any cartridges into a drive, you should
manually unload them from the drive when the drive’s operation
is finished. Place them into a cell or remove them from the
library.
Loading a Cartridge into a DLT Drive
DLT drives contain load handle mechanisms to assist the drive in loading
cartridges. The load lever can be seen on the front of these drives. Follow the
directions below to manually load a DLT drive.
Caution
Potential equipment damage: Before you load a cartridge into
the drive, you must make sure power is on and the Operate
Handle indicator is steadily on (not flashing).
