Write-Protecting and Write-Enabling Cartridges

Each DLT cartridge has a write-protect switch (1) and an orange protection tab

(2). Use the switch as follows:

■

To write-protect a cartridge (prevent data from being written onto the

tape), move the switch to the left. The orange tab appears.

■

To write-enable a cartridge (allow data to be written), move the switch

to the right. The orange tab disappears.

NOTE: When write-protected, the cartridge can only be read by the library; it cannot be

written to or erased.
