Appendix D: The Tape Cartridge

D.4 LOADING A TAPE CARTRIDGE

Complete this subsection to load a tape cartridge into the front panel (Chapter 2, Figure 2-10) of the tape drive. Because this subsection of the manual refers to some of the front panel LEDs and controls, it may be useful to review information in chapter 2.5 that describe them.

1.Only when the green Operate Handle LED is steadily lit and when the audible beep sounds, lift the tape drive’s cartridge Insert/Release handle.

If the green Operate Handle LED is blinking, close the handle and wait for the LED to light steadily, then lift the handle and insert the cartridge.

2.Insert the cartridge. Push the cartridge fully into the tape drive.

CAUTION

To prevent failures and/or damage to the handle, assist the handle to its closed position. Do not flip it down or otherwise treat it roughly.

3.Push the handle to its closed (down) position.

The green Operate Handle LED extinguishes and the amber Tape in Use LED blinks to show that the tape is loading. When the tape reaches the BOT marker, the amber LED lights steadily. The tape is now ready for use.
