Setting the Write-Protect Switch
2
Each tape cartridge has a write-protect switch similar to that shown in
. This switch determines whether new data can be written to the
cartridge (
write-enabled
) or whether data on the cartridge is protected
from being erased or overwritten (
write-protected
). Set the write-protect
switch to enabled when inserting new cartridges into the library. Set the
write-protect switch to protected archiving tape cartridges.
