cartridge immediately for possible data recovery. Discard the mishandled cartridge.
Reattaching a leader pin
The first meter of tape in a cartridge is leader tape. When the leader tape is removed there is a possibility
of tape breakage. After the leader pin is reattached, transfer data from the defective tape cartridge. Do
not reuse the defective tape cartridge
.
The Leader Pin Reattachment Kit contains three parts:
v Leader pin attach tool (See
▌1▐
in Figure 21 on page 50). A plastic brace that holds the cartridge door
open.
v Cartridge manual rewind tool (See
▌2▐
in Figure 21 on page 50). A device that fits into the cartridge's
hub and enables you to wind the tape into and out of the cartridge.
v Pin supplies (See
▌3▐
in Figure 21 on page 50). Leader pins and C-clips.
Attention:
v Use only the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit to reattach the leader pin to the tape. Other methods of
reattaching the pin damages the tape, the drive, or both.
v
Use this procedure on your tape cartridge only when the leader pin detaches from the magnetic tape
and you must copy the cartridge's data onto another cartridge. Destroy the damaged cartridge after
you copy the data. This procedure might affect the performance of the leader pin during threading and
unloading operations.
v Touch only the end of the tape. Touching the tape in an area other than the end can damage the tape 's
surface or edges, which might interfere with read or write reliability.
