4.10.1 Cartridge Write-Protect Switch
The tape cartridge has a write-protect switch to prevent accidental erasure of data.
Before you load the tape cartridge into the drive, position the write-protect switch on
the front of the cartridge (Figure 4-10). The switch can move to the:
•
Left, so the cartridge is write-protected
•
Right, so the cartridge is write-enabled
When you slide the switch to the left, the small orange rectangle is visible. This
indicates data cannot be written to the tape. The arrow (beneath the orange rectangle
and over the two lines on the write-protect switch) lets you know that data cannot be
written to the tape.
On the right side of the write-protect switch is another symbol: an arrow over one line.
This symbol indicates that if you slide the write-protect switch to the right, data can be
written to the tape.
