Drive Operation Loading a Cassette Insert a cassette into the slot on the front panel with the arrow on the cassette pointing towards the drive. When the cassette is inserted, the drive takes it and automatically loads it into drive mechanism. Unloading a Cassette The cassette can be removed from the SDT-10000/SDT-11000 either in response to a SCSI Unload Command, or by pressing the eject button. By pressing Eject button, the tape goes to BOM, the drive unthreads it, and ejects the cassette from the slot.. Write-protecting a Cassette Cassettes can be write-protected by sliding the tab on the back of the cassette open.. In this state, data can be read from the tape but not written onto it. Using your fingernail, push the switch in the direction of the arrow to avoid accidental overwriting or erasure of data. Return the switch to its original position to re-enable writing. 14
