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.

3. Select

[Unload] to move the tape from the drive to the tape’s original

location (the location 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.

NOTE Tapes can also be unloaded from remote access. See “Using the Remote

Management Card” on page 3-9.

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 2-1 on page 2-9).

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 Appendix D.
