Removing Tape Cartridges

Removing Tape Cartridges

1. Press the Eject button on the front panel as shown in

Figure 3-4

2. The tape drive completes any task it is currently performing, winds the tape to the

beginning, and ejects the cartridge. The sequence will take about 25 seconds for a
write-enabled cartridge and 10 seconds for a write-protected cartridge.

Caution. Never try to remove a tape cartridge before it is fully ejected.
