Ultrium 800 GB, 400 GB and 200 GB cartridges
• Slide the switch to the right to write-protect the cartridge. A small pad-lock is visible indicating
that the cartridge is write-protected (see Figure 15).
• Slide the switch to the left to allow the autoloader to write data to the cartridge (see Figure 15).
You cannot write-enable Ultrium 800 GB WORM cartridges because you cannot erase or
overwrite data on WORM data cartridges; you can only append data up to the maximum, full
capacity of the tape cartridge.
NOTE: When a write-protected cartridge is loaded into the drive, a WP will be displayed on the
bottom line of the LCD screen next to the inventory information. This message will be displayed until
the cartridge is unloaded from the drive.
