CAUTION Drives and Media Quantum DLT Drives & Media Do NOT Use DLT Cartridges with: • Tape or leaders that have been touched with bare fingers (may transfer oils to the tape head). • Labels used on the top, bottom, sides, or back of the cartridge. Use the label slot only. Always discard damaged tape cartridges. If a defective tape cartridge is loaded into a tape drive, it may in turn damage the drive, potentially requiring drive replacement. Write-Protecting DLT 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, move the write-protect switch (Figure D-2): • Left to prevent data from being written to the cartridge. The orange indicator on the cartridge can be seen when the write-protect switch is in the "ON" position. • Right to allow data to be written to the cartridge. The orange indicator on the cartridge cannot be seen when the write-protect switch is in the "OFF" position. Drives & Media Appendix D D-9
