NOTE Figure D-8 Drives and Media HP Ultrium Drives & Media Write-Protecting Ultrium Cartridges Each cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. Using the write-protect switch ensures data safety for files that have been previously written to tape, preventing additional files from being written to that tape. To change the write-protect setting, slide the red tab on the base of the cartridge (Figure D-8 on page D-22): • Right to prevent data from being written to the cartridge. The red tab on the cartridge displays a padlock when the write-protect switch is in the "ON" position. • Left to allow data to be written to the cartridge (unless the tape is write-protected electronically through your backup software). The padlock on the red tab cannot be seen and the hole is exposed when the write-protect switch is in the "OFF" position. With the write-protect switch in either position, data can be read from the cartridge. Ultrium Write-Protect Button Settings D-22 Appendix D
