Installation and Operation.
Power-On Mode
In its normal power-on mode, the tape drive completes a power-on
self-test in approximately 30 seconds. Once the power-on self test is
complete, the tape drive loads the tape (if already inserted), and
positions the tape at LBOT.
Tape Drive Controls
The only operator control on the tape drive is the unload button on
the front panel. Pushing this button starts the unload procedure. This
button can also be used to reset the tape drive if a servo error occurs.
The EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 have a smooth unload button. The
EXB-8205XL and EXB-8505XL have a diamond-textured unload
button.
