Setting the

Write-protect Switch

The write-protect switch controls whether the tape cartridge is

write-protected or write-enabled:

•

Write-protecting a cartridge protects the data it contains from

being erased or overwritten. To write-protect a cartridge, move the

write-protect switch to the left (see figure 24). An orange tab

appears above the switch.

•

Write-enabling a cartridge allows new data to be written to the

cartridge or existing data to be modified or erased. To write-enable

a cartridge, move the write-protect switch to the right (see

figure 24). The orange tab disappears.
