SDLT 600 Tape Drive Front Panel
On the SDLT 600 tape drive, the leftmost LED is dual color (green/orange). This LED is the Density
Indicator. When you insert a Super DLTtape II data cartridge, this LED illuminates green. When the
tape drive detects a backward read compatible (BRC) data cartridge, this LED illuminates orange.
(The SDLT 600 tape drive backward reads Super DLTtape I data cartridges formatted in an SDLT 220
or SDLT 320 tape drive, or DLTtape VS1 data cartridges formatted in a VS160 tape drive.)
If a DLTtape IV data cartridge is inserted, the Drive Density LED is off.
Table 5-2
summarizes these
combinations.
