Drive Failure to Load

Cartridges may be loaded into the CSL incorrectly (priority mount or from the
input bin). Sometimes, cartridges are loaded with the cartridge reels to the left
(

Figure 5-18

). When this is done, the CSL attempts to load the cartridge into the

drive. This type of a load causes an instant CSL failure.

CAUTION:

Never load cartridges with the cartridges reels to the left. Only load
cartridges with the cartridges reels to the right.

Incorrect Load Process

This is the process of events when cartridges are loaded incorrectly into the
CSL. The cartridge reels are facing to the left (

Figure 5-18

). You cannot see them
