Figure 48 Rewinding a Tape in the DLT Drive Module
Removing a Stuck DLT Tape
Use the following procedure and Figure 49 to remove a tape stuck in a DLT
drive module:
1. Ensure that the tape has been rewound. See
Manually Rewinding a Stuck
DLT Tape on page 151.
2. Locate the spring-loaded latch near the opening on the drive module, and
push it outward (item 1 in Figure 49 ). Ensure that you move both parts of
the latch.
3. While holding the latch outward, rotate the thumb-wheel (drive gear) until
the tape ejects (item 2 in Figure 49 ).
Note If turning the thumb-wheel does not eject the tape, or if you
encounter high resistance in turning the thumb-wheel, check to
ensure that the spring-loaded latch has been rotated outward.
