Important
To use Spectra SKLM Encryption key management, LTO-5 drives must be updated to
firmware version C7RC, or later. All LTO-6 or later generation drive firmware
supported for use with the library can be used with Spectra SKLM encryption.
Figure 115 If desired, enable encryption for the partition.
