Maintaining Mass Storage Media and Devices
Task Overview Several tasks go hand-in-hand with using mass storage devices:
• Write-enabling and write-protecting media
• Labeling removable media
• Handling the media according to its care instructions
• Cleaning the device
Selecting a
Media Write
Setting
Mass storage media that can be read from or written to. For
example, an RZ73 fixed disk or a TLZ06 removable tape have
a write-protect feature that allows you to enable data to be
written onto the media (write-enable) or to prevent data from
being written onto the media and overwriting existing data
(write-protect).
Switch the media setting back and forth, depending on the
operation you wish to perform.
