Abstract: PUSHDOWN TAB in BAY 3 INTERFERES with TAPE DRIVE FUNCTION

TEXT:

PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:

•  The system is a Netfinity 3000 server, Type 8476, any Model.

FIX:

Shell has been EC'd to remove the tab. It is not needed.

WORKAROUND:

Tab must be reformed upward to clear option in Bay 3, but not too far which would interfere with Bay 2.

Be careful not to deflect the tab too far.
