5.3.4 Tape Stuck in DLT Drive
Caution –
If a tape is stuck in the DLT drive, the drive must be replaced.
1. Run the
TRANSLATE TEST
to move the transport out of the way.
2. Run the
REWIND MEDIA
test to rewind the tape. If you are unable to rewind the
tape, go to step 5 of this section.
3. Use the
OPEN DRV HANDLE
internal test to release the tape.
4. Run the
UNLOCK DOOR
test to release the front door.
Caution – Do not use the
RELEASE DOOR
option because this will move the
transport with the stuck tape and cause further damage.
5. Open the door and remove the tape. If you are still unable to remove the tape,
proceed to the next step.
Note – Only manually unload the tape if it is imperative that the customer retain
the tape. If not, keep the tape in the DLT drive to help with failure analysis.
6. Remove the DLT drive by following the steps in “Replacing the DLT Drive” on
page 5-4.
7. Inspect the drive to see if any tape is on the take-up wheel. If so, see “Manually
Rewinding Tapes” on page 5-11. If not, continue with step 8.
