Power supplies

Power supplies convert standard AC current to the lower voltage DC current used by the library.

In the TS4500, each frame includes power supplies for the tape drives and control cards within the frame. The library is powered by two AC to DC power supplies in the L25 or L55 frame. You can also have power supplies that are installed in a D25 or D55 frame.

The location reported for a TS4500 power supply is in the format powerSupply_F<f>PS<a|b>.

Example: powerSupply_F2PSa

The Diamondback has only one frame that has two AC to DC power supplies installed in the electronics tray.

The location reported for a Diamondback power supply is in the format powerSupply_F<f>PS<1|2>.

A single power supply is adequate to power the frame, but two power supplies are present for redundancy. Any of the AC to DC power supplies can supply power to components shared between frames, such as frame lighting and accessors.
