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. You can only
select a full drive.
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.
4. The tape automatically rewinds before it is unloaded. A status screen
displays the library’s progress as the tape is relocated.
5. From the Drive and Tape Operations menu, select [Menu] to return to the
Operations menu.
Cleaning a Drive
Note Use a cleaning cartridge to clean a drive. The drive mechanism
should only be cleaned if the clean drive icon displays (see Table
5 on page 62).
Caution Ensure you use the correct cleaning cartridges for your tape
drive. Damage may occur if inappropriate media is used. For
more information, refer to Table 36 on page 188.
