Ultrium 215 internal drive - stuck tape

[Ondrej_4]

Hi All,

I got 1 tape stuck in the drive. Tried eject, forced eject, restart of the server, reset of the drive - no results, just green led (ready) flashing for a while, then again lit.

I have been through the forum, but everybody managed to get it out using screwdriver... How? Or do you have any hints how to do that?

Many thanks

Ondrej

Turn the tape drive upside down. As you are looking at the front you will see a small silver sticker on the bottom, left side, closest to you. Peel of the sticker, and using a 1/4 inch nut driver, turn it 13 times counter clockwise, the tape will pop out
