Performing an Emergency Cartridge Eject
If the LTO-5 Tape Drive stops communicating with the host computer,
use the following procedure eject a cartridge (if necessary).
Caution: When you perform an emergency cartridge eject, any data
in the drive or host buffers will not be written to the tape
and the tape record may not be correctly terminated with
an end-of-data mark. If the end-of-data mark is not written
to the tape, you will not be able to append any data to that
tape unless you overwrite the existing data on the tape.
To perform an emergency cartridge eject, hold down the Eject button
between 5 to 15 seconds, and then release it. The tape drive firmware
ignores all outstanding SCSI commands and ejects the tape.
