Appendix D. Repairing a Cartridge
Attention: Use a repaired tape cartridge only to recover data and move it to
another cartridge. Continued use of a repaired cartridge may void the warranties
of the drive and the cartridge.
If the leader pin in your cartridge becomes dislodged from its pin-retaining spring
clips or detaches from the tape, you must use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment
Kit (part number 08L9129) to reposition or reattach it. (Do not reattach the pin if
you must remove more than seven meters (23 feet) of leader tape.) The sections
that follow describe each procedure.
Attention: Use a repaired tape cartridge only to recover data and move it to
another cartridge. Continued use of a repaired cartridge may void the warranties
of the drive and the cartridge.
Examples of Cartridge Problems
Example: Split Cartridge Case (see “Perform a Thorough Inspection” on page
4-7)
The cartridge's case is damaged. There is a high possibility of media damage and
potential loss. Perform the following steps:
1.
Look for cartridge mishandling.
2. Use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to correctly
seat the pin.
3. Use data recovery procedures to minimize chances of data loss.
4. Review media-handling procedures.
Example: Improper Placement of Leader Pin (see Figure D-1 on page D-2)
The leader pin is misaligned. Perform the following steps:
1. Look for cartridge damage.
2.
Use the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit (part number 08L9129) to correctly
seat the pin.
3. Use data recovery procedures to minimize chances of data loss.
Repositioning a Leader Pin
To place the leader pin in its proper position, you will need the following tools:
v
Plastic or blunt-end tweezers
v Cartridge manual rewind tool (from Leader Pin Reattachment Kit, part number
08L9129)
A leader pin that is improperly seated inside a cartridge can interfere with the
operation of the drive. Figure D-1 on page D-2 shows a leader pin in the incorrect
1
and correct
2
positions.
