Cartridge Magazine Removal

You should remove the magazine before attempting any service operation, especially one that
may require placing the chassis on its side. When the module is out of service, it may also be

critical data by other means. There are three methods for removing the magazine, depending
on the condition of the module. Each of these methods is described below.
