Emergency Cartridge Eject Procedure
0
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.
2
Press and hold the front panel cartridge eject button until the cartridge ejects. This
could take from fifteen to thirty seconds or more.
Disregard any displayed error messages.
3
Remove the cartridge from the dock after the eject operation completes.
4
Restart your workstation or server system to reset the GoVault dock firmware.
5
Before using the cartridge again, verify the integrity of its directory and file system as
follows:
a
Insert the cartridge into the GoVault dock.
b
Use the Windows chkdsk
command
or a third-party utility to check the
cartridge file system.
c
If the integrity check fails, reformat the cartridge before using it again (see
Reformatting Cartridges in the GoVault for Windows User’s Guide).
Manual Cartridge Eject Procedure
0
In case of a power loss or other unusual situation that prevents a normal power or
software cartridge eject operation, you can manually eject the cartridge from the GoVault
dock by straightening a large paper clip and inserting it into the front panel manual
cartridge eject hole (see
figure 11
).
Caution:
Avoid using this procedure. Ejecting a cartridge in this manner can result
in a loss of data and directory corruption.
Caution:
Ejecting the cartridge while it is being accessed can result in a loss of
data.
Note:
If the cartridge still does not eject, remove power from the GoVault by
either shutting down your workstation or server system (internal GoVault
dock), or unplugging the power adapter/converter from the DC power
jack on the rear panel of the external GoVault Tabletop dock and use the
manual cartridge eject procedure (see
Manual Cartridge Eject Procedure
).
