( 3 in Figure 118 on page 194) is positioned as shown. Notice that the rotator stub ( 3 in Figure 118
on page 194) is nearly aligned with the cartridge loader tray guide bearing ( 2 in Figure 118 on page

Half height drive: No apparent failure or damage to tape
Note: If the cartridge in the drive is an INPUT tape that contains ACTIVE or 'ONLY COPY' data (there is no
backup), eject commands that are issued at the host fail to unload the tape, and power-cycling the drive
fails to eject the cartridge, make no further attempts to unload this tape. Call Technical Support and
open a PMR if one is not already open, to initiate the process of sending the drive with the loaded
cartridge in for recovery.
1. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
