To place the tape drive in the operator access position, proceed as follows:
WARNING
Before performing Step 1, ensure that the cabinet is stabilized by extend-
ing its support legs fully before pulling the drive out of the cabinet on its
slides.

rear of the drive next to the SCSI cable connector. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2. Reach underneath the left front corner of the front panel and squeeze the rack latch. See
Figure 5–1 for location of rack latch.
3. Pull the drive outward until the slide locks engage.
4. Raise the top cover and place the cover retainer arm in the recess next to the tape path.
