Unloading a Cartridge

The cartridge can be removed from SDX-800V series drives in response to a SCSI Unload command, or by pressing the EJECT button.

When the EJECT button is pressed, the tape is rewound and the cartridge ejected from the slot.

Write-protecting a Cartridge

Cartridges can be write-protected by sliding the tab on the back of the cartridge. In this state, data can be read from the tape but not written onto it.

Using your fingernail, push the switch in the direction of the arrow to protect the tape from writing or accidental erasure.

Return the switch to its original position to re-enable writing.

Using a Cleaning Cartridge

A cleaning function is built into SDX-800V series drives so the use of a cleaning cartridge is not needed. If, however, the drive experiences excessive errors, use a cleaning cartridge with the AIT logo.
