Figure 6.5 Releasing the tape drive

After removing the defective drive, the drive mounting brackets on both sides of the
drive must be removed from the drive, since these will be used for mounting the
replacement-drive. The drive mounting brackets are fastened with two screws each.
The replacement drive comes with a front bezel which is snapped onto the front of
the drive. Remove the front bezel and keep it for use when returning the defective
drive. Fasten the drive mounting brackets to the replacement-drive with two screws
each.
The drive mounting bracket on the drive's left side has a Guide cartridge mounting
(figure 6.6) for guiding the cartridge in and out of the drive.

Figure 6.6 Guide cartridge mounting

Make sure that the Guide cartridge mounting is mounted in flush with the inner left
wall of the drive, as indicated in figure 6.7. The two screws shown in figure 6.6 can
be loosened for adjusting the position of the Guide cartridge mounting. Remember to
fasten the screws again afterwards.
