CAUTION:
identify LTO-4 media. Without the most recent firmware, loading an LTO-4 cartridge into an earlier
generation drive can result in a long media identification and unload time. The drive might not
identify the media and then return a load error before the application software times out waiting
for the load. For proper operation, keep tape drives updated to the most recent firmware.
