1. Look for cartridge damage.

“Repositioning or reattaching a leader pin”). Then, immediately use data recovery procedures to
minimize chances of data loss.
Repositioning or reattaching a leader pin
Attention: Use a repaired tape cartridge only to recover data and move it to another cartridge.
Continued use of a repaired cartridge might 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 7 meters (23 feet) of leader tape.) The
sections that follow describe each procedure.
