4.6 Loading a Cartridge
The following are more detailed steps for loading a cartridge (Figure
4-7):
1. When the green indicator is on steady and the beep sound has
occurred, open the Cartridge Insert/Release handle by lifting the
handle in the center.
NOTE: If the Operate Handle indicator is blinking, close
the handle and wait for a steady lit green indication, then lift
the handle and insert the cartridge.
2. Insert the cartridge.
3. Push the cartridge into the drive.
4. Push the handle closed.
NOTE: To prevent handle failures, assist the handle to the
closed position. Do not flip it.
The green indicator turns off, and the yellow indicator blinks to
show the tape is loading. When the tape is at the BOT marker, the
yellow indicator turns on steady. The tape is now ready for use.
