A.1 Recognizing Quantum Super DLTtape I and II
Data Cartridges
The Super DLTtape I data cartridge is dark green. The Super DLTtape II data cartridge is dark blue.
Both data cartridges have a keying feature that prevent insertion into the older generation DLT tape
drives.
N
OTE
: You cannot insert the Super DLTtape II data cartridge into an SDLT 220
or SDLT 320 tape drive; or any other earlier model Quantum tape drive.
Other than color differences, the basic geometry, write protection switch, and label space for the
Super DLTtape I and Super DLTtape II, the data cartridges are basically the same. This simplifies the
integration of the SDLT 600 tape drive into existing operating environments and into automated tape
libraries.
