3.
Place the drive on a sturdy, work surface.
4.
Ground yourself to the drive by using the ESD Kit.
5.
Remove the cover of the drive by performing the following steps:
a.
Remove the three screws that secure the bezel ( in Figure 9-52), one located
on each side and one located on top.
b.
Unplug the bezel cable and remove the bezel.
c.
Remove the four cover-mounting screws, two at the rear ( in Figure 9-52)
and two (not shown) at the front under the bezel.
d.
Remove the cover by lifting it up. Set the cover aside.
6.
Inspect the drive to decide which of the following conditions most closely
matches the symptom on your drive. Proceed to that procedure:
• “Tape Spooled Off Supply Reel” on page 9-48 – All the tape appears to be on
the take-up reel and no tape is on the supply reel (inside the cartridge).
• “Tape Pulled from Leader Pin or Broken Near Leader Pin” on page 9-49 (at the
front end) – All the tape appears to be on the supply reel (inside the cartridge)
and very little or no tape appears to be on the take-up reel. The leader block is
positioned in the take-up reel. After the procedure is complete, return the
drive through your normal IBM parts channel.
• “Tape Broken in Midtape” on page 9-51 – Tape appears to be on both the
supply reel (inside the cartridge) and the take-up reel.
