Data Cartridge Use and Care
Your Quantum DLT VS160 tape drive reads and writes Quantum DLTtape™ VS1 data cartridges.
Your DLT VS160 tape drive can read—but not write—DLTtape IV data cartridges previously written
with the DLT1/VS80 format.

OTE
:
The tape drive automatically ejects any data cartridges whose format it
cannot read. Make sure all data cartridges that you use for data backup are
Quantum DLTtape VS1 data cartridges.
4.2.1 Loading a Data Cartridge
Loading a data cartridge into your DLT VS160 tape drive is easy. After the tape drive completes POST,
insert the DLTtape VS1 data cartridge into the cartridge slot, oriented as shown in
Figure 4-2
, and push
the data cartridge gently into the tape drive until it stops.
The Ready LED blinks while the tape drive loads the data cartridge. When the data cartridge is ready
to use, the tape drive illuminates the Ready LED. If the data cartridge is a DLTtape™ IV written using
the DLT1 (VS80) format, the tape drive also illuminates the Media LED.
