Seagate. Caution: After following these procedures, you must return the drive to Seagate for repair. Do not attempt to use the drive until after it has been serviced. Before you start 1. Issue all possible commands and run diagnostics prior to using the procedures in this manual. - Page 36 Viper 200 Installation Manual 4. Remove the drive from its operating environment. 5. Place the drive on a workbench with proper ESD grounding: attach a wrist strap to the bench and the other end to your wrist. 6. Remove the top cover of the drive by removing eight screws.
- Page 37 Caution. Do NOT use the drive after you have removed a cartridge. The drive must be returned to Seagate for servicing. If you have any questions on this process, contact Seagate Technical Support for Tape Products (see the last chapter of this manual for contact numbers).
- Page 38 Viper 200 Installation Manual Case 2. Cartridge is loaded and seated and tape is threaded Follow these steps if the cartridge is loaded and seated, and the tape is entirely or partially threaded into the drive. You will need a small, flat-blade screwdriver and a 1.5-mm hex wrench.
- Page 39 Viper 200 Installation Manual 1. Make sure the head assembly is in the lowered position by turning the lead screw (shown in Figure 21) clockwise with the flat blade screwdriver. This is necessary to allow the load arm to clear the head assembly when it is moved back toward the cartridge.
- Page 40 Viper 200 Installation Manual 4. Insert the 1.5-mm hex wrench through the hole in the bottom plate shown in Figure 22. Turn the hex wrench clockwise slowly and smoothly to rewind the tape into the cartridge. This may take some time. Caution: If you turn the hex wrench quickly or unevenly, you may create a tape loop, which could cause tape contamination.
- Page 41 Viper 200 Installation Manual Caution. Be especially careful not to touch the tape head assembly. The MR elements in this assembly are highly susceptible to damage from static electricity. 8. Take up the slack tape again using the 1.5-mm hex wrench, as described in step 4 above.
- Page 42 Note. Any tape cartridge removed using this procedure should be retensioned before it is used for reading or writing data. If you have any questions on this process, contact Seagate Technical Support for Tape Products (see Section 8 for contact numbers).
