Full height drive: Tape tangled along tape path

About this task

Note: If the cartridge in the drive is an INPUT tape that contains ACTIVE or 'ONLY COPY' data (there is no

backup), eject commands that are issued at the host fail to unload the tape, and power-cycling the drive

fails to eject the cartridge, make no further attempts to unload this tape. Call Technical Support and open

a PMR if one is not already open, to initiate the process of sending the drive with the loaded cartridge in

for recovery.

Procedure

1. Carefully pull out excess tape and untangle.

Note: If you nd the tape to be broken, go to one of the following appropriate procedures:

• “Full height drive: Tape spooled off supply reel” on page 227

• “Full height drive: Tape pulled from or broken near leader pin” on page 230

--OR--

“F

ull height drive: Tape broken in mid-tape” on page 233

2. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
