Front Panel Cartridge Eject button
When allowed by the application in Tape Library mode, or when not Ejection Protected in JBOD mode,
cartridges may be ejected via the Cartridge Eject button. Cartridges are ejected by pressing the
Cartridge Eject button for the appropriate slot for approximately 2 seconds. If ejection is allowed,
the eject button will flash green and the cartridge will eject shortly. If ejection is not allowed, the eject
button will flash amber and cartridge will not be ejected.
