Powering the components within the frame
The TS4500 tape library connects to AC power in multiple ways. The library is powered by two AC to DC power supplies in the Lx5 frame. You can also have power supplies that are installed in a Dx5 frame.
Powering the components within the frame
The Frame Control Assembly (FCA) includes power supplies for the tape drives that are installed in the frame. These power supplies meet 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.
All Lx5 frames ship with an FCA. For Dx5 models, FC 1450 provides an FCA. If you have tape drives in a Dx5 frame, then FC1450 is required in that frame. The frame power supply provides power to the drives and control cards within that frame. 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 the frame lighting and cartridge accessors.
The two 1400W AC to DC PSU meet 80 Plus Platinum efficiency.
You can power TS4500 tape library in three basic ways (1) Standard Configuration, (2) Using Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Feature Code 1951/1952, (3) Using Feature code 1751/1752 with a Top Rack.
