v Leader pin attach tool (see ▌1▐ in Figure 153). A plastic brace that holds the cartridge door open.
v Cartridge manual rewind tool (see ▌2▐ in Figure 153). A device that fits into the cartridge's hub and
lets you wind the tape into and out of the cartridge.
v Pin supplies (see ▌3▐ in Figure 153). 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 will damage 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 may 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 may interfere with read or write reliability.
The following procedure describes how to reattach a leader pin.
To reattach a leader pin by using the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit:
1. Attach the leader pin attach tool (▌1▐ in Figure 154 on page 178) to the cartridge ▌2▐ so that the
tool's hook ▌3▐ latches into the cartridge's door ▌4▐. Pull the tool back to hold the door open, then
slide the tool onto the cartridge. Open the tool's pivot arm ▌5▐.
