Setting the write-protect switch
Each tape cartridge has a sliding write-protect switch. This switch determines
whether new data can be written to the tape cartridge (write-enabled) or whether
data on the tape cartridge is protected from being erased or overwritten
(write-protected).
Write-protecting Ultrium tape cartridges
By moving the switch to the left (Figure 20), the tape cartridge is write-enabled.
By moving the switch to the right, the tape cartridge is write-protected.
