Prepare the Library
Remove Tape Magazines
First, make sure all activities are completed and all backup
software services are stopped. Remove both of the tape
magazines from the module whose rails are being replaced.
NOTE:
If the power to the device is off, you can release the
magazines manually. Refer to the
below.
1. From the OCP or RMI, first select the right magazine and
then select Open Magazine.
2. Using the right magazine access handle and supporting
it underneath, pull the magazine out of the library.
3. Place the magazine on a secure surface.
4. Repeat
Steps 1–3
for the left magazine.
Manual Release Process
If power is not available on the module, the magazines can be
released using the manual release holes on the side of the
magazines. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver or Torx driver
into the release hole and gently push the tab in.
IMPORTANT: Do not continue to exert force once you
encounter resistance. Doing so can damage the device.
