Using Cartridges

Before you use the autoloader, make sure you observe these general rules:

Use only DLTtape™IV cartridges. The tape drive in the autoloader can read, but not write DLTtapeIV cartridges that are written in the DLT4000 format.

You can order tape cartridges at www.dell.com/tapebackup. Make sure all cartridges that you want to use for writing have either never been written

to, have been thoroughly degaussed, or have been written to only with the VS80 tape drive in the autoloader or another VS80 or DLT1 tape drive. The

tape drive rejects all other formats. If you want to reuse cartridges that have been formatted with another manufacturer's drive, use a magnetic bulk

eraser or degausser to prepare the cartridges for use with the autoloader. Many common degaussers are not adequate for DLT media. Contact your

support representative for proper degaussing recommendations.

Clean the tape drive when the Clean Drive LED is illuminated, or if there is any other indication that the drive is having trouble reading or writing,

such as if the Media Attention LED is illuminated, or there is an exclamation point (!) in the inventory display. Be sure to use only DLT1 compatible

cleaning cartridges. The tape drive rejects all other types of cleaning cartridges.

NOTE: The autoloader automatically unloads any other cartridge types and any cartridges whose format it cannot read. If you experience

any failures with reused formatted (degaussed) cartridges, the degaussing may not have been sufficient to fully erase the data. If this

happens, use another cartridge (preferably a new, unformatted DLTtapeIV cartridge) before suspecting other system components.

Importing Cartridges

This option forces the autoloader to import a cartridge into a specific empty slot in the carousel. To import tapes into the autoloader:

1. Make sure the write-protect switch is set as desired for each data cartridge (see

the slide-in slot on the front of each cartridge (see
