Using Travan cartridges
The minicartridges recommended for use with the STT8000A are listed in chapter 2.
This section describes some operations using the cartridges.
Loading and unloading cartridges
Your tape drive has a flip-up door that covers the cartridge opening when a tape
cartridge is not installed in the drive. Once a cartridge is inserted, it is held firmly in
place by the drive's positive locking mechanism.
Caution: DO NOT
remove a tape cartridge while the drive is active. Complete
any tape operations and wait until the amber LED is OFF before
removing the cartridge.
To load
a cartridge, insert it with the metal base plate down and the tape access
door facing into the drive. Figure 4-2 illustrates the loading of a cartridge.
To unload
a cartridge, wait until the drive activity LED is OFF and then pull the
cartridge straight out. Figure 4-3 illustrates the unloading of a cartridge.
