Fixing an internal jam

Attention:
This procedure must be performed only by trained service personnel.
If problem-determination procedures identify the LTO-2 Tape Drive as the
source of a problem, replace the entire unit. If you are not a trained service
person, do not attempt to open the drive for repairs. Attempting a repair
other than the manual removal of a tape cartridge will void your warranty.
Before performing this procedure, ensure that you have completed the steps
that begin on page 59. Do not attempt this procedure until you have
completed these steps.
If you have reached this point, the tape is broken or the leader pin dropped (or
looked like it dropped) from the leader block. To fix these conditions, perform the
following procedure.
1. If the drive is mounted in an enclosure, perform the procedure to remove it
(see "Removing a SCSI tape drive from an enclosure" on page 57).
2. Place the drive on a nonslip surface.
3. Remove the cover of the drive by performing the following steps:
a. Use an appropriate tool to remove the three screws and washers (see 1
in Figure 20 on page 62) that secure the bezel 2 . Remove the bezel.
b. Use a screwdriver to remove the four cover-mounting screws and washers
3 .
c. Remove the cover by lifting it up. Set the cover aside.
