Half 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 find the tape to be broken, go to one of the following appropriate procedures:
• "Half height drive: Tape spooled off supply reel" on page 245
• "Half height drive: Tape pulled from or broken near leader pin" on page 249
–OR–
• "Half height drive: Tape broken in mid-tape" on page 251
2. Set the drive on its left side with the head and tape path facing up.
