Commands
PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL
1Eh
PREVENT
/
ALLOW
MEDIUM REMOVAL
tells the drive to enable or disable the
removal of the cartridge.
When cartridge removal is prevented, the front panel eject button is completely
disabled (though a ‘forced eject’ will still work). An Unload command issued
by a host will result in
CHECK CONDITION
. The sense key will be
ILLEGAL
REQUEST
or
MEDIUM REMOVAL PREVENTED
.
When cartridge removal is enabled, pressing the front panel eject button or
sending an Unload command from a host will cause the media to be unloaded
and ejected.
Removal prevention is on a per-host basis. All the hosts have to allow media
removal for any of them to do so.
Note
If a firmware upgrade is initiated over any interface, the
cartridge will be ejected from the drive regardless of the state of
this command.
