5.6.2 Tape Density and the Drive Density Indicator
This section describes the behavior of the left-most LED on the Quantum SDLT
320 data tape drive. This amber-colored LED is now defined as the Drive Density
indicator (formerly Write Protect).
On the SDLT 320 drive only (not SDLT 220), the amber LED is illuminated when
the density has been set to 220 mode or when an inserted cartridge is detected by
the drive as being formatted in 220 mode. This LED is not illuminated when the
drive is operating in 320 mode, which is the default. See Table 5-4 for specific
scenarios.
Refer to Table 5-4 to help you interpret the behavior of the Drive Density Indicator
LED. Also, please note that the Drive Density LED is not illuminated while the
drive is reading DLT BRC cartridges (DLTtape 4000, 7000, 8000, and DLT1).
