The PX500 Series (PX502, PX506, and PX510) tape libraries with DLT-S4 tape drives  
are capable of utilizing DLTSage Tape security. DLTSage Tape Security is a unique  
solution designed to prevent unauthorized access to tape cartridges which is  
particularly valuable when protecting tapes that are transported offsite. DLTSage  
Tape Security is a firmware feature designed into the DLT-S4 tape drive which uses  
an electronic key to prevent or allow reading and writing of data on to a tape  
cartridge. This key is managed through the remote management pages of the  
PX500 Series tape library (refer to the Quantum PX500 Series User’s Guide, PN 81-  
81290 located on the PX500 Series Documentation CD for more information on  
the remote management pages). DLTSage Tape Security is available at no  
additional cost as an integrated feature in of the DLT-S4 tape drive and PX500  
Series tape library (firmware version 20 or later).

The Protection Mode for Cartridges area defines when the  
Secure Key is used for a cartridge in a tape drive with a  
Secure Key enabled. In all modes, the Secure Key is used to  
read data from cartridges that have a pre-existing Secure  
Key. If the Secure Key on the cartridge does not match the  
current Secure Key on the library, the data on the cartridge  
can not be read.  
Three write protection modes are available:  
Never Write Secure Key to a Cartridge - The Secure  
Key will never be written to a cartridge placed in a  
secured tape drive.  
Only Write Secure Key to Blank Cartridges - The  
Secure Key will only be written to blank, unformatted  
cartridges.  
Write Secure Key to All Cartridges - The Secure Key  
will be written to all cartridges, including blank and  
formatted cartridges containing data. This mode may  
be used to apply a Secure Key to cartridges with pre-  
existing data.
