Cooling Fans

The library contains cooling fans for key components to prevent overheating.

Fan Assembly

The library comes standard with two fan assemblies in the Base Module card cage that provide cooling for the electronics in the card cage. The library controller monitors these fans for proper operation. The fault indicator on the fan assembly indicates a failure. The assembly can be replaced without interfering with library operations.

Tape Drives

Each tape drive tray contains two fans for drive cooling. The tape drive's power converter card supplies power for the fans. Air is drawn from the front of the drive and flows through the fan to the back of the drive.

DC Power Supplies

Each 1200 Watt DC power supply contains two fans that pull air from the library, through the back of the supply, and out the back of the library.
