Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing access to tape cartridges at a tape archival service provider. A determination is made as to whether a non-volatile memory of the tape cartridge stores a key encryption key comprising an encrypted user encryption key associated with a user. In response to determining that the non-volatile memory of the tape cartridge stores the key encryption key, the key encryption key is decrypted to produce the user encryption key. The user encryption key, resulting from the decrypting, is provided to an encryption engine of the tape drive to encrypt plain-text data read from the tape medium in the tape cartridge with the user encryption key to return to a read request.

A floor system in a server room includes a main panel and a sub-panel. The main panel includes main panel inlaid cables and main panel connectors where the main panel inlaid cables connect a first set of the main panel connectors to a second set of the main panel connectors. The sub-panel includes sub-panel inlaid cables and sub-panel connectors where the sub-panel inlaid cables connect the sub-panel connectors to one another. The floor system provides an operating floor via the main panel and the sub-panel where the operating floor is raised relative to a sub-floor and the main panel is a removable floor panel to access a space between the operating floor and the sub-floor. The main panel inlaid cables and the sub-panel inlaid cables establish a current pathway from a power source.
