Redundant power supply

The MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 tape libraries have a redundant power supply option.
The redundant power supply allows the library to continue operating when one power supply
fails. With the redundant power supply system, the library can monitor the status of each power
supply and power supply fan. The redundant power supply can be installed without powering off
the library.

HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader and MSL Tape Libraries Encryption Kit

The encryption kit provides secure generation and storage of encryption keys. The encryption
kit can be used with any StoreEver 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader or the MSL2024, MSL4048, MSL6480,
MSL8048 and MSL8096 Tape Libraries with at least one LTO-4 or later generation tape drive.
The encryption kit cannot be used with the MSL6000.
The encryption kit supports your manual security policies and procedures by providing secure
storage for encryption keys. Access to the key server tokens and their backup files is protected
with user-specified passwords. You will need to create processes to protect the tokens and secure
the passwords.
Before enabling the encryption kit, verify that the tape library is running the most current firmware
to ensure compatibility between the token and tape library.
To use the encryption kit, insert a key server token in the USB port on the back of the tape library,
and then enable the encryption kit and configure the token from the RMI.
IMPORTANT:
encryption keys from other sources, such as a key management system or application software.
Disable encryption in applications writing to the tape library when encryption is enabled with the
encryption kit. Applications that attempt to control encryption while encryption is enabled with
the encryption kit will not be able to do so, which can cause backups or other write operations
to fail.
For information about configuring and using the encryption kit, see the encryption kit user guide,
which is available from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library at
info/storage/docs.

HPE MSL Library Extender

The library extender combines two libraries to create a single extended library. Before installing
the extender, the libraries must be installed in the rack rails supplied with the libraries in adjacent
rack locations, one library above the other. See the example shown in

When encryption is enabled with the encryption kit, the tape library will not use
