Q6Q64A HPE MSL3040 Upgrade Power Supply Kit

The Q6Q64A HPE MSL3040 Upgrade Power Supply Kit is a critical hardware component designed to provide power redundancy and increased system reliability for the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Tape Library. While the MSL3040 base module (Q6Q62C) comes standard with one power supply, this kit allows for the installation of a second, hot-plug module.

Adding this secondary power supply ensures that your backup operations continue uninterrupted in the event of a power source failure or a malfunction of the primary power module. For enterprise environments where data availability and backup windows are mission-critical, the Q6Q64A is an essential upgrade to eliminate a single point of failure in the tape storage infrastructure.

• True Hardware Redundancy: By installing the Q6Q64A, the MSL3040 library operates in an N+1 power configuration. If one power supply fails, the other immediately assumes the full load without interrupting robotic movement or tape drive operations.
• Hot-Plug Capability: The module is designed to be installed or replaced while the library is powered on and fully operational, ensuring zero downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
• High Efficiency: These power supplies are engineered to meet high-efficiency standards, reducing energy consumption and heat dissipation within the server rack.
• Integrated Monitoring: Once installed, the library's management interface (Web GUI and Command View for Tape Libraries) provides real-time status monitoring for both power modules, alerting administrators to any voltage or hardware irregularities.

The MSL3040 expansion modules also come with one power supply. If you wish to have full redundancy across the entire scaled library, you should add one Q6Q64A kit to every module (Base and Expansion) in the stack.

Yes, the kit typically includes a standard PDU power cord (C13 to C14). However, regional wall-plug cables may need to be verified based on your specific data center requirements.

Yes, the MSL3040 is fully functional with a single power supply. The Q6Q64A is purely for redundancy—protecting your backups against a power failure.

• Protective Packaging: The Q6Q64A is shipped in a custom-fit, anti-static foam enclosure to protect the internal electrical components and the connector pins from physical shock and ESD during transit.
• Global Shipping: We offer worldwide delivery via major logistics partners. All shipments include a detailed tracking number and are fully insured.
• Compliance: This hardware is fully compliant with RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental standards. It includes all necessary certifications for international importation and data center deployment.
