Moving drives
If there is a tape in the drive, unload it before powering down and moving the drive. When the drive
is powered down, there is no physical lock on the tape reels. If you leave a tape threaded in the drive
with the power off, the reels could rotate, causing a loop of tape to occur in the tape path. When the
drive is next powered up, the tape could then fall off the guides and be damaged.
If for any reason you must move a drive with a tape threaded, move it slowly and carefully, making
no sudden movements that could cause the reels to rotate.
