Using Cartridges
The DLT VS 40/80 GB tape drive uses only DLTtape™IV cartridges. The DLT
VS 40/80 GB tape drive automatically unloads any other cartridge types and any
cartridges whose format it cannot read. Make sure all cartridges that you want to
use for writing are either unformatted or have been formatted with the DLT VS
40/80 GB tape drive before loading them.
The DLT VS 40/80 can use previously written media that has been degaussed.
DLTtape™IV media is rated at 1850 oersteds. To completely degauss, the
degausser used must be rated at 1850 oersteds, although a value two to three times
1850 oersteds is preferred.
Note: If you use an outside vendor to degauss your media, be sure their equipment
meets this criteria.
The DLT VS 40/80 can read (but not write to) DLTtape™IV cartridges that have
been written using a DLT 20/40 tape drive.
