1.
With the front of the drive facing you, pull an arm's length of tape out of the
take up reel from the left side of the drive.
2.
From the take up reel, thread tape around the rear of the tape path and over
the head and rollers on the left side of the drive.
3.
Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
4.
Moisten a cotton swab with water and wet approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) of
the tape end and feed it onto the supply reel (inside the cartridge).
5.
From the bottom of the drive, insert a 2.5 mm offset hex wrench through the
bottom cover access hole and into the reel motor axle.
6.
Turn the supply reel clockwise, allowing the moistened tape to adhere to the
hub as it winds around the supply reel (inside the cartridge).
7.
Continue spooling into the cartridge until the tape is taut and remains within
the flanges of the tape guiding rollers. Ensure that you do not stretch the tape.
8.
Go to “Ending Procedure” on page A-25.
Half-high Drive: Tape Spooled Off Supply Reel
ATTENTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE OUTER GUIDE RAIL (
2
). THIS RAIL
IS VERY DELICATE AND EASILY DAMAGED.
Note:
If the cartridge in the drive is an INPUT tape containing ACTIVE or 'ONLY
COPY' data (i.e., there is no backup), eject commands issued at the host fail
to unload the tape, and power-cycling the drive fails to eject the cartridge,
make
no further attempts
to unload this tape. Call Technical Support and
open a PMR if one isn’t already open, to initiate the process of sending the
drive with the loaded cartridge in for recovery.
