Write-protecting tape cartridges
All rewritable data cartridges have a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure or overwriting of
data. Before loading a cartridge into the library, make sure the write-protect switch on the front of the
cartridge is in the desired position.
Slide the switch to the right to write-protect the cartridge. A small pad-lock is visible indicating that
the cartridge is write-protected (see Figure 23).
Slide the switch to the left to allow the library to write data to the cartridge (see Figure 23).
