Remove Tape Magazines

Make sure all activities are completed and all backup software 
services are stopped. Remove the tape magazines from the 
Base Module being replaced.

NOTE:

If a magazine needs to be removed when the power to the 

device is off, refer to the 

Manual Release Process

 below.

1.

From the OCP or RMI, first select the right magazine and 
then select 

Open Magazine

.

2.

Using the right magazine 

access handle

 and supporting 

it underneath, pull the magazine out of the library.

3.

Place the magazine on a secure surface.

4.

Repeat 

Steps 1–2

 for the left magazine.

Manual Release Process

If power is not available on the Base Module, the magazines 
can be released using the manual release hole on the side of the 
magazine. Insert a small flat head screwdriver or Torx driver 
into the appropriate magazine release hole and gently push the 
tab in.

IMPORTANT:  Do not continue to exert force once you 
encounter resistance. Doing so can damage the device.
