IBM RS/6000 7025 manual Cartridges, Tape

Setting

the

Write-Protect Tab

on 4-mm

Tape

Cartridges

The

window

on the tape cartridge controls write-protection. When

the

write-protect

tab

of

a

tape

cartridge

is set (window

open),

information can

be read from the tape

but

cannot

be written to it. When the write-protect tab of a

tape

cartridge is

not

(window

closed),

information can be both written

to and

read from the tape. Trying

to

write

to

a 4-mm

data

cartridge

with the

window

open

causes an

error.
