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.
