Description
Two 24 VDC power supply modules in the main frame provide redundant power
for the library robotics and motors.

Figure 4 The 24 VDC power supply LEDs.
Each 24 VDC power supply module has two indicator LEDs, one for DC power
status and one for AC power status. The color of the LED indicates the power
supply status:
Green — T he power is on and functioning normally.
Orange — T he power supply has a fault condition.
Off — T he power is not on or the power supply module is not functioning
normally.
Notes:
Drive expansion frames do not include 24 VDC power supply modules.
If the second 24 VDC power supply module is not installed, a cover over the
opening maintains proper air circulation throughout the frame.
One RIM2 can be installed in each of the vertical controller bays to the right of
the drives in a DBA (see Figure 3 on page 33). A RIM2 or an LTO tape drive can
be used to provide the robotic control path for the library. To learn more, see
Exporting Controllers on page 43.
The library accommodates multiple generations of high‐performance, high‐
capacity, full‐height and half‐height LTO drives or TS11xx technology drives.
The drives are installed in DBAs, with each DBA accommodating up to four
drives. Drives are hot‐swappable to provide uninterrupted operation. To learn
more, see Tape Drives on page 45.
Any drive bays that do not have drives installed must have covers
Note:
installed to maintain proper air circulation throughout the frame and to protect
internal library components.
