5.1 Data Protection Key

Data protection keys can inhibit data from being set or erased. There are three types of data
protection keys as shown below (the key names depend on the machine manufacturers. For the
details, refer to the manuals issued by individual machine manufacturers).
The data protection keys protect data when they are turned off.
