2Operation and Maintenance
This chapter describes the operation and maintenance of your Quantum
Travan Portable USB Tape Drive.
Loading and Unloading Cartridges 2
On the front of your drive is an opening with a hinged door for inserting
Travan cartridges. Next to the door is the drive-activity light (which
doubles as an eject button on the Travan 40GB drive).
• Travan cartridges must be inserted in the drive with the metal
baseplate facing down (if the drive is horizontal) or left (if the drive is
vertical, as shown in figure 5
).
• The loading and unloading procedures are different for the 20GB and
40GB drives.
Caution: Always close the backup software before unplugging the
tape drive’s power cord or USB connector. If you do not
close the program you may lose data.
