Emergency Tape Removal Procedure
1. Remove the drive from the chassis or enclosure to allow access to the bottom and left
side of the drive.
2. Remove the drive's top cover.
3. Locate the small opening in the bottom of the drive and insert the tip of a small screw¬
driver so that the Loading/Threading motor shaft can be rotated.
4. Rotate the motor shaft clockwise to bring the threading mechanism back to the initial
position.
Caution:
Excessive rotation beyond mechanism dead-end may cause damage to the
drive mechanism.
5. Before continuing the manual eject procedure, tape slack must be removed in order to
prevent tape damage.
Repeatedly press the ratchet mechanism located on the left side of the drive to tighten
the tape.
6. After tape slack has been removed, continue to turn the motor shaft clockwise until the
tape is lifted out of the drive mechanism and is ejected.
7. Return the drive to the service station for repair.
