RDX DOCK AND CARTRIDGES—T5R

The T5R has a built-in RDX dock that provides additional capabilities

for data management. You can use RDX cartridges to make secondary

backups for o-site storage, transfer large data sets to and from the

DataGuard Appliance, or seed an online cloud system. All functions are

controlled through the DataGuard Management Interface. Follow these

directions when using RDX cartridges.

HAndling rdX CArtridgeS

Although RDX cartridges are rugged, take care not to drop them. This will

ensure data integrity and long life. Also observe the following precautions:

• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are not using

them. Avoid overstacking RDX cartridges; doing so may cause the

cartridges to fall and become damaged.

• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt, moisture, direct sunlight, heat

sources and temperature extremes or rapid changes in temperature.

• Never try to force a cartridge into the dock. If it is dicult to insert,

check the orientation and ensure correct alignment using the keyed

corner as a guide (see Figure 1).

loAding And unloAding CArtridgeS

The RDX dock in each T5R has a cartridge slot with a hinged protective

door, and a power indicator that also functions as a cartridge eject

button. Cartridges only ﬁt in one orientation (see Figure 1).

• To load a cartridge, orient its keyed corner to the upper left corner

of the dock and insert in the slot. Push the cartridge gently into the

dock until it clicks in place.

• To unload a cartridge, push the eject button on the RDX dock or use

the DataGuard Management Interface to select at the Device tab >

External Drive > mouse over RDX-SATA > click Remove.

When the cartridge has been ejected, pull the cartridge straight out (see

Figure 2). If neither method works, you can insert a straightened paper

clip into the Emergency Eject hole. This practice involves greater risk of

data loss, so only use it if necessary. See the Troubleshooting section for

further advice.

write proteCtion

protection tab to the left (see Figure 3). To remove write protection,

slide the tab to the right.

Caution

When using the emergency eject feature, apply force in a

straight line only. Push until you feel resistance, then push

once more to eject the cartridge. If the tool is angled while

in use, damage may result.
