Resetting the Drive You can reset the drive without powering off the drive and system. This may be necessary if the drive stops responding. To do this, press and hold the eject button on the front panel of the tape drive for 10 seconds (Figure 13). The drive forces a dump of vital technical data to drive memory and overwrites the existing dump. The drive then reboots to allow communication. Figure 13. Resetting the Drive 1.
