Resetting the autoloader
A reset causes the autoloader to perform its power-on self-test (POST) and check
for the presence of data cartridges. You can reset the autoloader in any of the
following ways:
■ Power-on reset — Turning the autoloader off (or unplugging it), then
turning it back on again resets the autoloader and the tape drive.
■ Operator’s Panel — Select the Configuration menu, press E NTER , select Reset ,
then press E NTER . For more information on using the Operator’s Panel, see
“The Operator’s Panel” on page 13.
Resetting the tape drive does not eject a cartridge loaded in the drive. If a
cartridge is in the tape drive during a reset, make sure that it is safe to overwrite
the loaded cartridge before performing a backup. If you perform a backup
without checking the loaded cartridge, you may lose important data from a
previous backup.
