2.4 Automatic Tape Loading
To automatically load a tape in the TSZ07, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
Lifting the top cover when the tape drive is powered on stops tape motion
and prevents tape from loading or unloading.
1. If you are using a new reel of tape, or the leader of the tape is damaged, crimp the end
of the tape. Tape crimping tool 47-00038-00 is available from Digital.
2. Open the door by gently pressing down on the center of the door.
3. Make sure the tape is completely wound on the reel; and, if you intend to write data to
the tape, ensure that a write-enable ring (shown in Figure 2–2) is installed on the reel.
Figure 2–2: Write-Enable Ring
4. Place the tape reel on the supply hub with the write-enable ring side of the reel down.
The reel should lie evenly on the supply hub, as shown in Figure 2–3.
