3. To manually release magazines, insert the end of a small metal pin or straightened paper clip
into the appropriate magazine access hole at the back of the device about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch),
while another person grasps the magazines on that side and pulls them out of the front of the
unit. For the MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096, all magazines on a side are released and
should be removed at the same time. See Figure 95.

IMPORTANT:
Do not force the pin once you encounter resistance. Doing so can damage the device.
4. Repeat step 3 for the other magazine if necessary.
5. If other tapes are still in the device, or if you were unable to manually remove the magazines
and drive, contact HP customer service for further instructions. See “HP technical
support” on page 241.
The wellness test
The wellness test exercises all Library and tape drive hardware, except the external connections, and
is useful for verifying that a device is working correctly. The wellness test requires operator interaction
with the mailslot so cannot be initiated from the RMI.
