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.
