printed circuit cards. Connect this wrist band to the static protection mat

or to other suitable ESD grounding.

If there is a cartridge in the tape drive, remove it before performing any

maintenance procedure.

Disconnecting the LCD flex cable

2 Disconnecting the LCD flex cable

If your tape drive has an LCD, follow the instructions in this section to

disconnect the LCD flex cable before you remove the faceplate.

If your tape drive does not have an LCD on the faceplate, skip this section

and go to Replacing the faceplate on page 4.

Using a T-6 screwdriver, remove the two side screws and one rear screw

that attach the top cover to the tape drive (see Figure 1).

To remove the top cover, slide it back about1 inch (2.6 cm). Lift the front

edge first, and then remove the cover.
