<tr><td colspan="4" valign="top" headers="d0e23 d0e26 d0e31 d0e35 d0e39 "> <ol><li>Data Compaction is a term used to describe a data recording option for compacting (or compressing) data before writing to the tape media. Selecting the data compaction option will usually result in an increase in both capacity and data transfer rate. The typical compaction ratio is 2:1, but is dependent on the type of data. Yes in the Data Compaction column means that the associated media type and format supports data compaction. Use the COMPACT parameter of the i5/OS™ SAVE command to select the data compaction option, except for those cases identified by Yes*. Yes* indicates that the compaction option is controlled entirely by the format (density) that is selected during the tape initialization operation. The COMPACT parameter of the SAVE command has no effect in these cases. <ul><li>QIC2DC is a compaction format (density) for the DC9250 and DC9200 media type.</li>
<li>QIC4DC is a compaction format (density) for the SLR5-4 GB media type.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cartridge capacities and data transfer rates shown are for noncompacted data, except for the QIC4DC and QIC2DC cases. For the QIC4DC and QIC2DC formats (densities), the capacities and the data transfer rates shown assume a typical 2:1 data compaction. See Note <a href="#rzam4quarterincompat__quartertwo">2</a>.</li>

<p>If the quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) format and the tape cartridge are not compatible, an error is message displayed. Errors that can occur are as follows:</p>
<ul><li>While selecting a QIC format that cannot be written on the tape. For example, inserting a DC6150 tape cartridge and specifying a QIC1000 format.</li>
<li>While attempting to process a high-density tape cartridge in a low-density tape unit. For example, you try to process an SLR5-4 GB cartridge in a 6381 tape unit.</li>
<li>While attempting to add a file and selecting a QIC format different from the format previously recorded on the tape. For example, inserting a tape cartridge recorded in QIC525 format and specifying a QIC120 format.</li>
