4.2 Write-Protect Switch



Each LTO data cartridge has a write-protect switch that can be used 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 cartridge. The position of the write-protect switch is shown below.



Move the write-protect switch to the left to disable write protection.

This means that data can be written to the data cartridge unless software write-protect

is in effect..

Move the write-protect switch to the right to enable write protection.

This means that data can not be written to the data cartridge.
