Ejecting a cartridge
You can use any of the following methods to eject a cartridge:
v Press the eject button on the drive (see Figure 8 on page 11) for at least 0.5
second.
v Use the RDX software application. For example, in Windows, complete the
following steps:
1. Locate the drive letter for the device in Windows Explorer.
2. Right-click the icon and select Eject.
3. After the cartridge is ejected, pull the cartridge out of the drive.
v Use the manual-ejection hole (see Figure 8 on page 11) to eject the cartridge in
case of a power loss or when the other methods of cartridge ejection fail. To
eject a cartridge, complete the following steps:
1. If you are using an internal RDX drive, turn off the server. If you are using an
external RDX drive, disconnect the power cord.
2. Insert a straightened paper clip or similar object into the manual ejection hole
until the cartridge is ejected.
3. After the cartridge is ejected, pull the cartridge out of the drive.
4. The server operating system does not recognize the RDX media immediately
after manual ejection of an RDX cartridge. Restart the server to reset the
drive.
Attention: Do not manually eject an RDX cartridge while the cartridge-indicator
LED is flashing.
