Introduction

The PX720 tape library with DLT-S4 tape drives is 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 PX720 tape library (refer to the
Quantum PX720 User's Guide
CD for more information on the remote management pages). DLTSage Tape
Security is available at no additional cost as an integrated feature of the DLT-S4
tape drive and PX720 tape library (firmware revision 4.5 or later).
