2Operation and Maintenance

This chapter describes the operation and maintenance of your Quantum

Travan Portable USB Tape Drive.

Caution: Always close the backup software before unplugging the tape drive’s power cord or USB connector. If you do not close the program you may lose data.

Loading and Unloading Cartridges

On the front of your drive is an opening with a hinged door for inserting Travan cartridges. Next to the door is the drive-activity light (which doubles as an eject button on the Travan 40GB drive).

Travan cartridges must be inserted in the drive with the metal baseplate facing down (if the drive is horizontal) or left (if the drive is vertical, as shown in figure 5).

The loading and unloading procedures are different for the 20GB and 40GB drives.
