Figure 7. Inserting a Data Cartridge
p Gently push the cassette into the drive opening until you feel a resistance. The drive will pull the
cassette the rest of the way in.
p A load sequence will initiate and the drive will go on-line. The Status may flash, signifying that the
cartridge is being loaded (refer to Appendix C for specific drive LED status codes).
4 When the Status LED is steady, the unit is ready.
Removing the Data Cassette
Premature removal of the data cassette (i.e., while the Status LED is on and data is being written to the tape)
can cause the entire tape directory to be lost.
4 Make sure that the Status LED is not flashing and the tape is not moving.
p Push the eject button on the front of the AIT-70D/100D.
