To load a cartridge into a DLT drive:

1.Open the tape library right front door by pulling on the left side of the door.

2.Open the library left front door by using a latch key to unlock both locks. See Figure 32 on page 123. Turn the key counter clockwise to unlock them, then pull open the door.

3.Locate the cartridge (see Locating a Cartridge in the Storage Cells on page 127).

4.Make sure the DLT handle is up (see Figure 37 on page 133) and the Operate Handle indicator is steadily on.

Note

If the handle is in the down position, wait for the Operate

 

Handle indicator to remain on steadily before moving it to the

 

up position (see Figure 37 on page 133). If the Operate Handle

 

indicator is flashing while the handle is up, move the handle to

 

the down position and wait for the Operate Handle indicator to

 

remain on steadily. Then move the handle to the up position.
