CAUTION It is critical to ensure that the media you use matches the format of your
tape drive. Cleaning cartridges and formatted data cartridges are unique
for each drive technology. Damage may occur if inappropriate media is
used in the tape drives.
Table 1-2 shows drive technologies and compatible unformatted data
cartridges.
Table 1-3 shows drive technologies and compatible cleaning cartridges.
