Permanently Removing a
Redundant Power
Supply
12
These instructions explain how to remove a redundant power supply
from the 5U Library Control Module. You may need to remove the
second power supply if it is no longer necessary for the library.
Required tools:
None
Note:
The 5U Library Control Module and each 9U Library
Expansion Module with drives must use at least one power
supply. You can add a redundant power supply to each
module.
Installing one power supply in one module and another power
supply in another module does not provide redundant power;
the two power supplies must reside within the same module.
