Where can I get more information?
For more information about AES encryption, encryption keys, and using hardware encryption with
your LTO Ultrium tape drive, see http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/index.aspx.
For detailed instructions about enabling encryption please refer to the documentation supplied with
your backup application. This will also highlight any default states, for example when copying tapes,
that may need changing if using encrypted tapes.
Write protecting cartridges
WARNING! Always remove the cartridge from the tape drive before you change the write protection.
If you want to protect the data on a cartridge from being altered or overwritten, you can write protect
the cartridge.
• To write protect a cartridge, push the switch to the right to prevent any data recording on the
cartridge. Note the padlock on the tab that indicates that the cartridge is protected.
• To write enable a cartridge, push the switch to the left to allow data recording on the cartridge.
The following figure illustrates the location of the write-protect tab.
