Unloading a Tape from the Drive
1. From the Drive and Tape Operations menu, select Unload Tape from
Drive .
2. Use the [-] or [+] keys to select the drive you want to unload.
3. Select [Unload] to move the tape from the drive to the tape’s original
location (the slot it occupied before being loaded into the drive). If
that slot is occupied, you will be asked to select another slot location.
The tape automatically rewinds before it is unloaded. A status screen
displays the library’s progress as the tape is relocated.
4. From the Drive and Tape Operations menu, select [Menu] to return to
the Operations menu.
NOTE Tapes can also be unloaded from remote access. See “Using the Remote
Management Card” on page 3-9.
Cleaning a Drive
NOTE Use a cleaning cartridge to clean a drive. The drive should only be cleaned
if the clean drive icon displays (see Table 2-1 on page 2-7).
CAUTION Ensure you use the correct cleaning cartridge for your tape drive.
Damage may occur if inappropriate media is used. For more information,
see Appendix D.
