Before you begin

  1. Attempt to remove the cartridge with the device power ON and with library manager, a host application, or Unload. Press and hold Unload for 12 seconds. This procedure causes the drive to eject the cartridge when it completed the mid-tape recovery.
  2. Attempt to remove the cartridge by power-cycling the drive. Look for the drive to attempt a mid-tape recovery.
    Note: It can take up to 15 minutes for the cartridge to rewind and unload.
  3. If the cartridge unloads, inform the operator that the cartridge is unloaded. If the cartridge does not unload, repeat steps 2 and 3 again before you continue with this procedure.
