Introduction

The PX500 Series (PX502, PX506, and PX510) tape libraries with DLT-S4 tape drives are capable of utilizing DLTSage Tape security. DLTSage Tape Security is a unique solution designed to prevent unauthorized access to tape cartridges which is particularly valuable when protecting tapes that are transported offsite. DLTSage Tape Security is a firmware feature designed into the DLT-S4 tape drive which uses an electronic key to prevent or allow reading and writing of data on to a tape cartridge. This key is managed through the remote management pages of the PX500 Series tape library (refer to the Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide, PN 81- 81290 located on the PX500 Series Documentation CD for more information on the remote management pages). DLTSage Tape Security is available at no additional cost as an integrated feature in of the DLT-S4 tape drive and PX500 Series tape library (firmware version 20 or later).
