Page 38
If a power outage occurs while a cartridge is loaded or the automatic unload
procedure previously explained fails, you may want to manually unload a cartridge
from the drive. The following steps outline the manual cartridge unloading and
removal procedure.
1. Remove the power connections. For internal models, disconnect the power
connection with the host computer. For the external model, remove the power
cord from the drive.
2. Disconnect the SCSI cable from the unit.
3. For internal models, remove the drive from the computer.
4. Remove the top cover by removing the two screws at the top edge near the
rear of the unit (one on each side). (See A in Figure 21.) Save the screws in a
safe place. Then remove the front bezel by pulling out on the top of the bezel at
the indentation. (See B in Figure 21.)
For the internal model with rails, remove the mounting rails by removing the
four screws near the lower edge of the unit (two on each side) that are
accessed through holes in the side of each rail. Next, remove the drive's top
cover by removing the two screws at the top edge near the rear of the drive
(one on each side). Save the screws in a safe place. (See A in Figure 21.)
Then remove the front bezel by pulling out on the top of the bezel at the
indentation. (See B in Figure 21.)
