rdX dock and cartrIdgeS—t5r
The T5R has a built-in RDX dock that provides additional capabilities
for data management. You can use RDX cartridges to make secondary
backups for off-site storage, transfer large data sets to and from the
DataGuard Appliance, or seed an online cloud system. All functions are
controlled through the DataGuard Management Interface. Follow these
directions when using RDX cartridges.
HAndling rdX CArtridgeS
Although RDX cartridges are rugged, take care not to drop them. This will
ensure data integrity and long life. Also observe the following precautions:
• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are not using
them; do not stack RDX cartridges.
• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt, moisture, direct sunlight, heat
sources and temperature extremes or rapid changes in temperature.
• Never try to force a cartridge into the dock. If it is difficult to insert,
check the orientation and ensure correct alignment using the keyed
corner as a guide (see Figure 1).
loAding And unloAding CArtridgeS
The RDX dock in each T5R has a cartridge slot with a hinged protective
door, and a power indicator that also functions as a cartridge eject
button. Cartridges only fit in one orientation (see Figure 1).
• To load a cartridge, orient its keyed corner to the upper left corner
of the dock and insert in the slot. Push the cartridge gently into the
dock until it clicks in place.
• To unload a cartridge, push the eject button on the RDX dock or use
the DataGuard Management Interface to select Device > External
Drive > RDX-SATA > Remove.
When the cartridge has been ejected, pull the cartridge straight out (see
Figure 2). If neither method works, you can insert a straightened paper
clip into the Emergency Eject hole. This practice involves greater risk of
data loss, so only use it if necessary. See the Troubleshooting section for
further advice.
write proteCtion
To prevent accidental erasure of an RDX cartridge, slide the write
protection tab to the left (see Figure 3). To remove write protection,
slide the tab to the right.

Caution
When using the emergency eject feature, apply force in a
straight line only. Push until you feel resistance, then push
once more to eject the cartridge. If the tool is angled while
in use, damage may result.
