Mounting a Cartridge into a Drive
CAUTION:
Before you mount a cartridge into the drive, you must make sure that
power is on, and that the Operate Handle indicator is on. Use the
shuttle to operate, not the drive handle.
A safety mechanism protects the drive if you try to operate it in an
incorrect state. The shuttle will not operate if this mechanism is
activated. To reset the safety mechanism, wait for the Operate Handle
indicator to turn on. Pull firmly on the shuttle, then push the shuttle
in completely. If the cartridge did not eject, or if the handle did not
rise, pull and push again.
To mount a cartridge into a drive:
1. Obtain the cartridge VOLSER, location, and drive number from the LSM
management software.
2. Open the LSM front door by using a latch key to unlock the top and bottom
latches. Refer to Figure 3–3.
3. Locate the cartridge.
4. Make sure that the DLT handle is up, and the cartridge hook and hub are down.
Figure 3–10 shows the handle positions.
