Before loading into a drive, ensure that all other items from this package are separated from the cartridge. Never press in on the hub portion of the data cartridge. Step 1 If you are planning to write data to, or erase data from, the cartridge, make sure the Write-Protectswitch on the cartridge is in the write-enabled position (all the way to the right). A data cartridge can only be loaded when the Operate Handle LED is ON. Do not attempt to open the Cartridge Insert/Release Handle unless this LED is ON steady. Step 2 Lift up on the Cartridge Insert/Release Handle. Figure 5-1 Loading a Data Cartridge Caution Caution Step 3 Insert the data cartridge into the slot. Step 4 Push the cartridge into the drive. Step 5 Push the Cartridge Insert/Release Handle closed. The drive will go on-line. A load sequence will initiate where the Operate Handle LED will turn OFF and the Tape in Use LED will blink while the drive moves the tape to BOT (Beginning of Tape). When the tape is at BOT, the Tape in Use LED will turn ON steady. Additionally, one of the compression density LEDs on the Left Indicator Panel may be illuminated or blinking. The tape is now ready for use. Data Protection Caution The Write-Protect switch on the data cartridge can be moved while the cartridge is loaded into the drive. The drive will turn on the Write-Protect LED immediately. However, if the drive is writing to the tape, write protect does not take effect until the write operation completes. Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protect switch to the left, the tape is write-protected; the Write Protected LED (orange) is ON and data cannot be written to, or erased from, the tape. Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protect switch to the right, the tape is write-enabled and data can be written to, or erased from, the tape (if it is not software write-protected). After loading the data cartridge and during operation, if you move the Write-Protect switch from the write-protected position (to the left) to the write-enabled position (to the right), the tape becomes write-enabled after a variable amount of time (seconds). After loading the data cartridge and during operation, if you move the Write-Protect switch from the write-enabled position (to the right) to the write-protected position (to the left), the tape becomes write-protected after a variable amount of time (seconds).
