Recognizing Quantum Super DLTtape I and II Data
Cartridges
1
The Super DLTtape I data cartridge is dark green. The Super DLTtape II
data cartridge is dark blue. Both data cartridges have a keying feature
that prevent insertion into the older generation DLT tape drives.
Other than color differences, the basic geometry, write protection switch,
and label space for the Super DLTtape I and Super DLTtape II, the data
cartridges are basically the same. This simplifies the integration of the
SDLT 600 tape drive into existing operating environments and into
automated tape libraries.
The SDLT 600 tape drive is backward read compatible with Super
DLTtape I data cartridges formatted in the SDLT 220 or SDLT 320 tape
drive. Figure 21
shows outside characteristic differences of the Super
DLTtape I and Super DLTtape II data cartridges.
