Prerequisites
Use HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges.
Procedure
1. Insert the cartridge into the slot in front of the drive with the arrow uppermost and facing the drive door.
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.
Unloading a cartridge
This section describes unloading a cartridge from a standalone drive. The procedure is the same for
internal drives and those in tape arrays and libraries.
Half-height drives:
1. Eject button 2. Ready LED
3. Drive LED 4. Tape LED
5. Clean LED 6. Encryption LED
7. Power button (external drives only)
Procedure
1. Press the Eject button on the front panel.
During the unload sequence, the READY LED flashes green. The drive completes any task it is
performing, winds the tape to the beginning and ejects the cartridge. Once the tape has rewound, the
eject cycle will take less than 13 seconds.
2. Remove the cartridge and store it in its plastic case in a cool, dry atmosphere.
