HP Ultrium 1760 tape drives can read Ultrium 800 GB and Ultrium 400 GB media and write Ultrium 800

GB media, but hardware encryption is not supported on these formats.

Where can I get more information?

For more information about AES encryption, encryption keys, and using hardware encryption with your

HP Ultrium tape drive, see

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/lto4Encryp/index.html

or refer to the White Papers on

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/tapewhitepapers.html

.

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.
