*Note: DLT IV media, which has a format other than DLT 1, must be bulk erased to allow a DLT 1 drive to perform writes to the media. Erasing the data cartridge in its original drive is not adequate because the existing, incompatible format remains on the tape cartridge. The degaussing equipment used to bulk erase previously formatted media must have an Oersted rating at least equal to, and preferably two or three times greater than, the rating for the media being erased. For example, DLT Type IV media is rated at 1850 Oersteds. Specific procedures for degaussing your media should be included with your degaussing equipment.

CAUTION: All previously recorded data is removed if you bulk erase a tape cartridge.

Note: Ultrium cartridges are not compatible with DLT drives. Ultrium cartridges are not compatible with the SSL1016 DLT magazines.
