Autoloader operations

Resetting the autoloader A reset causes the autoloader to perform its power-on self-test (POST) and check
for the presence of data cartridges. You can reset the autoloader in any of the
following ways:
■Power-on reset — Turning the autoloader off (or unplugging it), then
turning it back on again resets the autoloader and the tape drive.
■Operator’s Panel — Select the Configuration menu, press ENTER, select Reset,
then press ENTER. For more information on using the Operator’s Panel, see
“The Operator’s Panel” on page13.
Resetting the tape drive does not eject a cartridge loaded in the drive. If a
cartridge is in the tape drive during a reset, make sure that it is safe to overwrite
the loaded cartridge before performing a backup. If you perform a backup
without checking the loaded cartridge, you may lose important data from a
previous backup.
