Reattaching a Leader Pin The first meter of tape in a cartridge is leader tape. Once the leader tape has been removed there is a possibility of tape breakage. After reattaching the leader pin, transfer data from the defective tape cartridge. Do not reuse the defective tape cartridge. The Leader Pin Reattachment Kit contains three parts: v Leader pin attach tool ( 1 ). A plastic brace that holds the cartridge door open. v Cartridge manual rewind tool ( 2 ). A device that fits into the cartridge's hub and lets you wind the tape into and out of the cartridge. v Pin supplies ( 3 ). Leader pins and C-clips. Attention: v Use only the IBM Leader Pin Reattachment Kit to reattach the leader pin to the tape. Other methods of reattaching the pin will damage the tape, the drive, or both. v Use this procedure on your tape cartridge only when the leader pin detaches from the magnetic tape and you must copy the cartridge's data onto another cartridge. Destroy the damaged cartridge after you copy the data. This procedure may affect the performance of the leader pin during threading and unloading operations. v Touch only the end of the tape. Touching the tape in an area other than the end can damage the tape's surface or edges, which may interfere with read or write reliability. 1 2 3 Figure 14.
