Operation and Maintenance

Data Protection

Write-Protection of the Data Cartridge While Inside the Drive

The

Write-Protect

switch on the data cartridge can be moved while the

cartridge is loaded into the drive. The drive will turn on the

Write Protected

LED immediately. However, if the drive is writing to the tape, write protect

does not take effect until the write operation is completed.

If you move the

Write-Protect

switch from the write-protected position

(on the left) to the write-enabled position (to the right), the tape becomes

write-enabled after several seconds.

If you move the

Write-Protect

switch from the write-enabled position

(on the right) to the write-protected position (to the left), the tape becomes

write-protected after several seconds.
