Write-Protecting Cartridges

Write-Protecting Cartridges

If you want to protect the data on a cartridge from being altered or overwritten, you can
write-protect the cartridge.

Always remove the cartridge from the tape drive before you change the write
protection:

•

To write-protect a cartridge, slide the tab on the rear of the cartridge so that the
recognition hole is open.

•

To write-enable a cartridge, slide the tab back so that the hole is closed.

Cleaning Tape C ar t ri dges

Cleaning Tape Cartridges

HP recommends cleaning the tape drive weekly using a cleaning cartridge. Do not use
swabs or other means to clean the heads. The cleaning cartridge uses a special tape
to clean the tape heads. A cleaning cartridge can only be used 50 times or as
instructed on the cartridge packaging. Always place a check mark in a box each time
you use the cartridge to clean the tape drive. Replace the cleaning cartridge when all
the boxes are checked.

1. Insert a cleaning cartridge into the tape drive. The tape drive automatically loads
the cartridge and cleans the heads.

At the end of the cleaning cycle, the tape drive ejects the cartridge. The cleaning
cycle takes approximately 30 to 60 seconds.

If the cleaning cartridge is not ejected, it has probably expired. In that case, press
the Eject button, discard the cleaning cartridge and repeat the operation with a
new one.

2. Remove the cleaning cartridge from the tape drive.

Handling Tape Cartri dge s

•

Do not touch the tape media.

•

Do not attempt to clean the tape path or tape guides inside the cartridge.

•

Do not leave cartridges in excessively dry or humid conditions. Do not leave
cartridges in direct sunlight or in places where magnetic fields are present (for
example, under telephones, next to monitors, or near transformers).

•

Do not drop cartridges or handle them roughly.

•

Do not stick more than one label onto the cartridge label area; extra labels can
cause the cartridges to jam in the tape drive. Stick labels onto the label area only.

•

For storage conditions, see the insert included with the tape cartridge .

4 Troubleshooting

The first step in problem-solving is establishing whether the problem lies with the tape
cartridge, the tape drive, or the server and its connections. If a problem occurs with the
tape drive or the server and its connections, refer to the steps in Section 2, Installing

and Configuring the Tape Drive for the NonStop S-Series Server, to make sure that

everything was installed and connected correctly.

Problems With Tape Cartridges

•

Check that the tape cartridge case is intact and that it contains no splits, cracks, or
damage.

•

Check that the tape cartridge has been stored at the correct temperature and
humidity. This prevents condensation. For storage conditions, see the insert
included with the tape cartridge.

•

Check that the write-protect switch is fully operational. It should move from side to
side with a positive click.

The Tape Cartridge Is Jammed

If the tape cartridge is jammed or the backup application is unable to eject it, you can
force eject the tape cartridge.

1. Press and hold the Eject button on the front of the tape drive for at least 15
seconds, or press the Eject button three times within 5 minutes.

2. Wait for the cartridge to be ejected. To give the normal eject procedure a chance to
proceed, the tape drive waits until 35 seconds have passed from the time of the
first press. After this period, it immediately releases the tape and ejects it
regardless of what operation it was performing. It is important that you allow
sufficient time for the tape drive to complete this process. If you interrupt it, you
might damage the media or the tape drive.

The tape drive is then reset as though you had turned the power off and then on
again.

3. You might lose data if you force eject a tape cartridge. The tape could also become
unreadable because an EOD (End of Data) mark might not be properly written.

The Tape Drive Will Not Accept the Tape Cartridge

(or Ejects It Immediately)

The Tape Drive Will Not Accept the Tape Cartridge (or Ejects It
Immediately)

The tape cartri dge migh t have been da mage d (drop ped, for ex ample) , or the t ape driv e
might have a fault. If it is a cleaning cartridge, it has probably expired and should be
discarded immediately. For data cartridges:

1. Check that the tape drive has power, the power cable is properly connected, and
the Tape LED is on.

2. Check that you are using the correct media for the tape drive.

3. Check that you have loaded the tape cartridge with the correct orientation.

4. Check for damage to your media and discard it if it is damaged.

5. Use a new piece of media or one known to be good, and see if it loads. If it does,
the original cartridge is faulty and should be discarded.

6. Check if another DAT drive of the same model will accept the tape cartridge. If it
does, the original tape drive might be faulty.
