Unload Button
The Unload Button is used primarily to unload the tape. When you push the Unload
button, the drive waits until any active write-to-tape activity is completed before
beginning the unload sequence. See “To Unload a Tape Cartridge From the Tape
Drive” on page 13.
If the drive is in an error state, pushing the Unload button causes the drive to reset
and unload the tape if possible. See “Troubleshooting” on page 6.
