4.2 Data Cartridge Use and Care
Your tape drive uses only DLTtape IV data cartridges. Your tape drive can read—but not write to—
DLTtape IV data cartridges previously written in the DLT 4000 format.
N OTE : Your tape drive automatically unloads any other data cartridge types and
any data cartridges whose format it cannot read. Make sure all data
cartridges that you use for writing are either unformatted or have been
used with your tape drive before loading them.
4.2.1 Loading a Data Cartridge
After the tape drive completes POST, insert the DLTtape IV data cartridge into the data cartridge slot,
oriented as shown in the
Figure 4-2 , and push the data cartridge gently into the tape drive until it stops.
