NOTE:

All Dell LTO cleaning media are black in color. Depending on the vintage of

the cartridge it may be marked Ultrium 1, 2, 3, or a combination of 1, 2, and 3. For

more details on cleaning media, see "Cleaning Media" on page 13.

NOTE:

All Ultrium-x tapes may not be of the same color. To determine the correct

media for your tape drive, see the Ultrium label on the tape.

NOTE:

PowerVault LTO tape drives support media from all certified media vendors.

However, it is recommended that you use Dell branded media in all PowerVault LTO

drives.

NOTE:

WORM media that is not labeled "Dell" is always two toned with gray on the

bottom and uses the respective color chosen by the tape vendor on the top.

NOTE:

The WORM label is present on the media regardless of media vendor.
