Operating Your Autoloader Ejecting a Cartridge or Magazine

5. The magazine is ejected.

If there is no cartridge loaded in the autoloader mechanism, the magazine is ejected without delay.

Forcing an Eject

If you press the Eject button when the autoloader is busy, the autoloader will complete the current

task before responding to the eject request. This way no data is lost.

However, in extreme cases, you may need to force an eject operation to unload a cartridge, even at

the risk of losing the data on the cartridge. A forced eject should only be tried when there is no other

way to recover a cartridge.

To force an eject, hold down the Eject button for at least five seconds, then release the button. When

you force an eject, the following occurs:

If there is a cartridge loaded, the Status Panel displays the message “UNLOAD TAPE X” (where X is

the number of the magazine slot which held the cartridge currently in the autoloader). After the

cartridge has been returned to the magazine, the display changes to “EJECTING MAGAZINE” and

the magazine is ejected.

Automatic and Manual Cartridge Loading

After cartridges have been loaded into the magazine and the magazine has been inserted into the

magazine bay, the autoloader can be left indefinitely for unattended write or read operations

(controlled by your backup software).

To load a cartridge manually, press the SELECT button repeatedly until the desired slot location is

identified, then press the ENTER button.

CAUTION: If you force an eject, the cartridge may become unreadable and therefore require

erasing or re-initialization by the application software.

NOTE: Because forcing an eject can interrupt an operation, the autoloader might not write the

end of data (EOD) mark on the tape before the cartridge is ejected. If the EOD mark is not

written on the tape, the cartridge might be formatted incorrectly and the data on the tape might

be lost. However, the data can usually be read up to the point where the error occurred.
