Inserting a Tape Cartridge
To insert a tape cartridge:
1. Ensure that the Ultrium 2 Tape Drive is powered-on.
2. Ensure that the write-protect switch is properly set (see “Setting the
Write-Protect Switch” on page 50).
3. Grasp the cartridge so that the write-protect switch faces you (see 1 in
Figure 10).
4. Slide the cartridge into the tape load compartment.
Notes:
a. If the cartridge is already in an ejected position and you want to reinsert it,
remove the cartridge then insert it again.
b. If the cartridge is already loaded and you cycle the power (turn it off, then
on), the tape will reload.
