Write-Protecting Cartridges
All cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure or overwriting of data. Before
loading a cartridge into the autoloader, make sure the write-protect switch on the front of the
cartridge is positioned as desired. Slide the switch to the right to write-protect the cartridge.
• For LTO-1 cartridges, a small, orange padlock is visible when the cartridge is write-
protected. See
Figure 5-4 for the location of the switch on an LTO data cartridge.
• For LTO-2 cartridges, a red padlock is visible when the cartridge is write-protected. See
Figure 5-4 for the location of the switch on an LTO data cartridge.
• For Super DLTtape 1 cartridges, an orange rectangle is visible when the cartridge is write-
protected. See
Figure 5-5 for the location of the switch on an Super DLTtape 1 data
cartridge.
Slide the switch to the left to allow the autoloader to write updates to the tape.
• The write-protect switch displays a black void when the cartridge permits overwriting and
erasure.
NOTE:
Only slot numbers that contain cartridges are displayed.
NOTE:
When a write-protected cartridge is loaded into the drive, a WP appears on the
bottom line of the LCD screen next to the inventory information. This message
appears until the cartridge is unloaded from the drive.
