Unloading a Cartridge from a 9840 Drive
To unload a cartridge from a 9840 drive:
1. Ensure that the drive is not in use.
2. Open the tape library right front door by pulling on the left side of the
door.
3. Open the tape library left front door by using a latch key to unlock both
locks. See Figure 32 on page 123. (Turn the key counter clockwise to
unlock them, then pull open the door.)
4. Press the [Unload] switch on the front panel of the drive.
One of the following conditions can occur:
— After the tape rewinds, the cartridge ejects from the 9840 drive.
Remove the cartridge from the 9840 drive.
— The cartridge fails to eject after the tape rewinds. Refer to the 9840
Tape Drive User’s Manual to correct this condition.
—If the [Unload] switch is pressed during a write operation, the 9840
drive tries to write the remaining data before the cartridge unloads. If
the UnWrxxxx (Unwritten Data) message displays, where xxxx is
the fault symptom code, the attempt failed and some data remains
unwritten to the tape.
For more information about recovering from an Unwritten Data condition,
refer to the 9840 Tape Drive User’s Manual. Returning the Library to
Online Status.
