DLT2000XT Tape Drive and DLT2500XT Stacker Operation
As shown in Figure 1-1, the DLT2000XT drive uses a lift-up handle to load and unload
the tape cartridge. The drive has a green LED that indicates when operation of the handle
is allowed. This LED is located to the right of the handle.

Caution: Never turn off an active DLT2000XT tape drive or DLT2500XT stacker until
after you have removed the tape cartridge, taken the drive offline, and properly halted
the host system. Turning off the drive while it is in active use by the host is likely to result
in data loss.
Figure 1-2 shows features of the DLT2000XT desktop tape drive.
