To manually release magazines, insert the end of a small metal pin or straightened paper
clip into the appropriate magazine access hole at the back of the device about 1.5 cm (0.6
inch), while another person grasps the magazines on that side and pulls them out of the
front of the unit. For the MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096, all magazines on a side are
released and should be removed at the same time. See
Figure 81 (page 146)

If other tapes are still in the device, or if you were unable to manually remove the magazines
and drive, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise customer service for further instructions.
The wellness test
The wellness test exercises all library and tape drive hardware, except the external connections,
and is useful for verifying that a device is working correctly. The wellness test requires operator
interaction with the mailslot so cannot be initiated from the RMI.
For complete testing, enable the mailslot and ensure that each top-row corner slot contains a
tape cartridge.
