Load an open-reel tape
Before loading a tape, ensure the following:
•
The write enable ring is either:
— On the tape to allow writing
— Removed to prevent writing over existing data on the
tape.
•
The tape end is free; for new reels, remove the adhesive strip
and/or rubber block that attaches the free end to the tape
pack.
Follow this procedure to load a tape into the open-reel tape
drive.
1. Press the Reset button to open the tape loading door.
2. Place the tape reel in the loading chamber and close the
loading door.
Note: The ring side should be facedown.
