Data Cartridge Write-Protect Switch
Each data cartridge has a write-protect switch that you can use to prevent
accidental erasure of data. Before inserting the data cartridge into the tape
drive, position the write-protect switch on the front of the data cartridge
( figure 19 ) according to the type of operations you expect to perform.

• Slide the write-protect switch to the left to enable write protection
(you can read existing data; however, you cannot write over existing
data on the media, nor append additional data to the media). When
you move the write-protect switch to the left, a small orange
rectangle is visible. This is your visual reminder that you cannot
write data to the media.
