Write-Protecting Cartridges
All cartridges have a write-protect (write-inhibit) switch to prevent accidental erasure or overwriting
of data. Before loading a cartridge into the library, make sure that the write-protect switch is positioned
correctly (either on or off).
For LTO cartridges, slide the red or orange write-protect switch to the right so that the padlock shows
in the closed position. The switch is located on the left side of the cartridge front. See
Figure 24 for
the location of the switch on the cartridge.

Barcode Requirements
Cartridges must have an external barcode label that is machine-readable to identify the volume serial
number. A barcode must use only uppercase letters A to Z and/or numeric values 0 to 9. The library
supports Code 39 (3 of 9) type barcode labels.
