Setting the Write-Protect Switch 2
Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
figure
11. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the
cartridge (write-enabled) or
whether data on the cartridge is protected
from being erased or overwritten (write-protected). Set the write-protect
switch to enabled when inserting new cartridges into the library. Set the
write-protect switch to protected archiving tape cartridges.
Note: You cannot choose
the sequence of labels inside the bar code
label packs. No two packs are ever the same to avoid issues
with duplicate bar code IDs.
Note: Only use barcode labels that have been designed for
cartridges. Do not adhere labels to a cartridge anywhere
except the slide-in slot.
