Cannot eject tape from PV 120T DLT1 Autoloader drive
How do I manually eject a DLT IV tape in a PV 120T DL1
autoloader drive? The autoloader makes a series of loud noises when I select the EJECT DRIVE mode on the control panel. The tape comes out about half an inch of the way no more. The autloader enters an alarm state. IF I powercycle and reissue the eject command the autoloader now says the source drive is empty even though the tape is still in there albeit partially out. The unit is currently detached from the SCSI connector. |

The drive and the loader are really two separate units in one cabinet. If
you're comfortable working on your equipment you can take out the screws that hold the drive in (four, I think) and pull it out the back. You can probably get the tape out and you may be able to see what's wrong. If you're lucky it was some sort of transient problem and everything will work fine when you put it back together. wrote in message ups.com...

I was hoping to avoid that
