5. The data cartridge is ejected.
6. The CTS is reset.
CAUTION
• Since the tape is not rewound when you use the “super
fast” version of the unload button, the tape is unloaded
from the CTS at its current position. If the unload occurs
when the tape is positioned over data, tape damage and
data loss can occur.
• When you use the “super fast” version of the unload
button to unload the tape, the data in any partially
transmitted logical blocks is lost (not put on tape for a write
operation or not sent to the initiator for a read operation).
Exabyte assumes no liability for data loss occurring when
the “super fast” unload button option is used.
Table 3-2 summarizes the CTS’s actions for each of the unload button
options.

a
If the CTS is performing a write operation when you press the “fast” or “super fast” version of the unload button,
the CTS aborts the command
after
it writes to tape the last logical block that was completely transmitted from
the initiator. However, any partially transmitted logical blocks are lost.
