Loading a Cartridge 4

Quantum DAT drives have a front-loading cartridge bay for easy

operation. To load a cartridge:

1 Hold the cartridge so the label is facing up and the exposed media is

facing the drive.

2 Gently insert the cartridge into the drive (see figure 21

). The drive-

bay door opens automatically when a cartridge is inserted.

After you insert the cartridge, there is a brief delay while the drive

identifies the cartridge type and state, and moves the tape to the data

area. Then the Ready LED turns ON.

Initializing a Blank Cartridge 4

When you insert a blank cartridge into the drive for the first time, the

drive takes from 10 to 12 seconds to determine that the tape is blank. The

drive automatically initializes the tape as soon as it receives a SCSI

WRITE

command from the host computer. Initializing a blank tape takes about 30

seconds.
