Encryption Capable Tape Drives; Power Configurations; Ac Power Source Options; Power Redundancy Options - Oracle StorageTek SL3000 Manual

Most drives are capable of reading the data recorded by an earlier generation tape
drive from the same family. Therefore, you can use existing cartridges if they are
within their warranty period.

Power Configurations

The power configuration depends on the power source and redundancy.

AC Power Source Options

Each PDU installed in the library requires a separate AC power source. There can be a
maximum of four PDUs in the library depending on the configuration selected (two in
the Base module and two in the DEM). There are two AC power source options. Both
are single phase:
120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, at 20 amps (range: 100–127 VAC, 47–63 Hz, 16 amps)
■
–
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, at 30 amps (range: 200–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz, 24 amps)
■
–

Power Redundancy Options

There are three power configurations that offer various levels of power redundancy.

N+1 power configuration (standard)

Offers DC power redundancy only
■
Consists of one PDU (per Base module or DEM), with one extra drive DC supply
■
and one extra robotics DC supply
Provides N+1 DC power supply redundancy
■
Limited support for T9840 and T10000 drives and no redundant robotics support
■

2N power configuration

Offers both AC and DC power redundancy
■
Consists of two PDUs (per Base module or DEM) for AC redundancy, with a set of
■
DC power supplies for each PDU
Provides N DC power supplies per PDU
■
Requires two separate AC input sources per Base module or DEM
■
