Manual Unload Device
The manual unload device (MUD) is a mechanism to manually remove a tape
cartridge from the drive when:
• The Unload switch action fails.
• Power is not available for the drive.
You use a screwdriver to engage the MUD and position the cartridge to be manually
pulled out of the load/unload slot.
