Inserting and Ejecting Cartridges You can insert and eject GoVault cartridges without shutting down the workstation or server system. Inserting Cartridges 3 Procedure 1 Verify that the activity LED indicator is on continuously, and not flashing, to signify that the GoVault dock is functioning correctly. Caution: Do not insert a cartridge when the activity LED indicator is either off or flashing. Doing so might require a manual eject procedure to remove the cartridge. GoVaultTM for Linux User's Guide 22 Chapter 3 Operation Inserting and Ejecting Cartridges 2 Carefully slide the cartridge into the GoVault dock until you feel a slight resistance as the cartridge engages the internal mechanical load/eject mechanism (see figure 11). Note: The GoVault dock has an internal alignment tab that engages a matching alignment slot on the upper-right side of the cartridge. This design feature makes it impossible to insert the cartridge either upside-down or backwards. If you feel any mechanical resistance as you slide the cartridge into the dock, stop and make sure the cartridge is oriented properly, with the connector to the rear and the alignment slot to the upper-right. 3 Firmly push the cartridge the rest of the way into the dock. Figure 11 Inserting a Cartridge Alignment slot Ejecting Cartridges 3 Eject a cartridge from the GoVault dock by either: · Pressing the front panel cartridge eject button (see Power Cartridge Eject Procedure) · Using the Linux software eject function (see Software Cartridge Eject Procedure), or your backup application software GoVaultTM for Linux User's Guide 23 Chapter 3 Operation Inserting and Ejecting Cartridges If neither of those procedures ejects the cartridge, and you must remove the cartridge from the dock, you could also: · Force an emergency cartridge eject by pressing and holding the front panel cartridge eject button (see Emergency Cartridge Eject Procedure) · Use the front panel manual cartridge eject hole (see Manual Cartridge Eject Procedure) Power Cartridge Eject Procedure 3 1 Verify that the font panel activity LED indicator is not flashing, which would signify that the cartridge is being accessed. Caution: Ejecting the cartridge while it is being accessed can result in a loss of data. 2 Press and hold the front panel cartridge eject button for a second or longer, and watch the activity LED to confirm that the cartridge eject operation is underway: This LED indication . a normal cartridge eject operation, which can take up to ten seconds to complete. that either the backup application software or the operating system inhibited the cartridge eject operation. In this case, see Software Cartridge Eject Procedure in the following subsection, or refer to the documentation for your backup application software. 3 Remove the cartridge from the dock after the eject operation completes and store it in its protective case. five flashes and then stop GoVaultTM for Linux User's Guide 24 Chapter 3 Operation Inserting and Ejecting Cartridges Software Cartridge Eject Procedure If you have not installed the GoVault system application software, then use the Linux eject command (example: eject /dev/sdb1) to eject the GoVault cartridge. If you have installed the GoVault system application software, then use Linux to perform the cartridge eject function as follows: 3 1 Verify that the font panel activity LED indicator is not flashing, which would signify that the cartridge is being accessed. Caution: Ejecting the cartridge while it is being accessed can result in a loss of data. 2 Click/open the GoVault Control icon on the Linux desktop and select the GoVault device to display its context menu. 4 Remove the cartridge from the dock after the eject operation completes and store it in its protective case. Note: See also the GoVault eject command description in Using the Linux Command Line Interface on page 48. Emergency Cartridge Eject Procedure Caution: Avoid using this procedure. Ejecting a cartridge in this manner can result in a loss of data and directory corruption. 3 If neither the power nor software cartridge eject procedure is successful, and you absolutely must have the cartridge ejected from the dock: 1 Verify that the font panel activity LED indicator is not flashing, which would signify that the cartridge is being accessed. Caution: Ejecting the cartridge while it is being accessed can result in a loss of data.
