Data Protection

Caution

Tape in Use

The Write-Protectswitch on the data cartridge can be moved while the cartridge is loaded into the drive. The drive will turn on the Write-ProtectLED immediately. However, if the drive is writing to the tape, write protect does not take effect until the write operation completes.

Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protectswitch to the left, the tape is write-protected; the Write Protected LED (orange) is ON and data cannot be written to, or erased from, the tape.

Before loading the data cartridge, if you move the Write-Protectswitch to the right, the tape is write-enabled and data can be written to, or erased from, the tape (if it is not software write-protected).

After loading the data cartridge and during operation, if you move the Write-Protectswitch from the write-protected position (to the left) to the write-enabled position (to the right), the tape becomes write-enabled after a variable amount of time (seconds).

After loading the data cartridge and during operation, if you move the Write-Protectswitch from the write-enabled position (to the right) to the write-protected position (to the left), the tape becomes write-protected after a variable amount of time (seconds).

Whenever the Tape in Use LED (yellow) is ON steady, the tape is ready to use. When the tape is being read, written, or rewound, Tape in Use blinks.
