Load an open-reel tape
Before loading a tape, ensure the following:
• The write enable ring is either:
— On the tape to allow writing
— Removed to prevent writing over existing data on the tape.
• The tape end is free; for new reels, remove the adhesive strip
and/or rubber block that attaches the free end to the tape pack.
Follow this procedure to load a tape into the open-reel tape drive.
Step 1. Press the Reset button to open the tape loading door.
Step 2. Place the tape reel in the loading chamber and close the loading
door.
The ring side should be facedown (see figure 7-3).
