Data Cartridge Write-Protect Switch
SDLT 600 Product Manual 112
Data Cartridge Write-Protect Switch 2
Each data cartridge has a write-protect switch that you can use to prevent
accidental erasure of data. Before inserting the data cartridge into the tape
drive, position the write-protect switch on the front of the data cartridge
(figure 34
) according to the type of operations you expect to perform.
Since the DLTtape VS1 data cartridge is a read-only data cartridge when
used in the SDLT 600 tape drive, the write-protect switch (in this
configuration) does not apply.
