Reset Switch
The emergency reset switch allows you to reset the drive without powering off
the drive and computer, for example if the drive stops responding. Access to
the switch is through a small hole. It can be activated by a thin object, such as
the end of a straightened paper-clip.
Loading a Cartridge
Use HP Ultrium cartridges with your drive.
1 In HP StorageWorks Tape Array 5300:
Insert the cartridge into the slot in front of the drive with the white arrow
on the top facing the drive door. The toothed drive hub is on the bottom of
the cartridge.
In HP StorageWorks H/A Tape Array 5500:
With this tape array, rotate the cartridge to match the orientation of the
drive in the tape array. Insert the cartridge into the slot in front of the drive
with the white arrow on the left-hand side facing the drive door. The
toothed drive hub is on the right-hand side.
2 Apply gentle pressure on the rear of the cartridge until the drive takes the
cartridge and loads it.
The ‘Ready’ LED flashes green while the drive performs its load sequence.
When the cartridge is loaded, the ‘Ready’ LED shows steady green.
Do not try to force the cartridge if it does not load properly. The drive will
eject the cartridge after about 10 seconds so you can load it again.
