Unloading a Cartridge from Drive
This description of this procedure assumes that the cartridge you wish to unload from a drive has been loaded into
the drive, since you should not normally have to manually unload a cartridge that has been loaded by application
software. It is further assumed that the cartridge is in the drive, has been logically unloaded by the application
software*, the library is in Off-Line Mode, and you are accessing the Diagnostics Menu.
* If the application software has not logically unloaded the tape, you will need to open the door, reach-in and press
the unload button.

drive is in. Use the RIGHT key to move to the Drv field. Use the UP or DOWN keys to select the drive.
Press ENTER. The drive will automatically unload the tape and then eject it. When the drive has ejected the
cartridge completely, the Media Picker will pick the cartridge from the drive.

The display will now show:
