Item Function
UNLOAD
Switch
Causes the drive to unload tape at any point. While the tape is unloading,
the Unload indicator flashes and the message UNLOAD’G appears on the
alphanumeric display. When unloading is completed, the Unload indicator
lights and the message UNLOADED appears on the alphanumeric display for a
short time.
Before the tape can be unloaded, the drive must be placed in the offline mode.
When this is done (by pressing the ONLINE switch), all cache-resident data is
written to tape before the drive actually goes off line.
The UNLOAD switch may be pressed while the drive is loading a tape. If so,
the loading process is halted, the message LD ABORT is displayed, and the
tape is unloaded.
LOAD/REWIND
Switch
This switch only functions when the TSZ07 Tape Drive is off line (Online
indicator is not lit.)
When pressed, causes the drive to load a tape and position it at BOT, or, when
a tape is already loaded, to rewind it to BOT. When a tape is being loaded,
the message LOADING appears in the alphanumeric display. Once the tape is
loaded, the tape density is displayed. The tape density messages are ID 1600,
ID6250, AND BLANK. If the loaded tape is written in an invalid format, the
message ID UNKWN is displayed.
Pressing this switch while the drive is off line (Online indicator is not lit) and
the tape is at BOT causes a density message to display for five seconds.
