To ensure that your IBM Ultrium tape drive conforms to IBM specifications for reliability, use only IBM LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. You can use other LTO-certified
data cartridges, but they might not meet the standards of reliability that are established by IBM. The IBM LTO Ultrium data cartridge cannot be interchanged with
the media used in other IBM non-LTO Ultrium tape products.
