Q6Q62B is the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Scalable Library Base Module, the 3U unit that every MSL3040 tape library starts from. It is a complete library on its own, with robotics, a controller, and room for up to three half-height LTO tape drives.
As a Q6Q62B base module, the library accepts up to six expansion modules and holds up to 280 tape cartridges. Each module adds five mail slots, and no slot licences are needed: every installed slot is enabled.
The MSL3040 family runs LTO-9 and LTO-8 half-height drives, with 12 Gb/s SAS on LTO-9 and 6 Gb/s SAS on LTO-8 and earlier, and an 8 Gb/s native Fibre Channel option. Fitted drives come from separate upgrade kits such as the Q6Q67A LTO-8 Fibre Channel drive upgrade kit or the Q6Q68A LTO-8 SAS drive upgrade kit.
HPE spare numbers for the base module include the base controller 882189-001 with two module ports, a management port and a diagnostics port, the 230 W power supply 882192-001, the 40-slot base library chassis P08876-001 and the robotic assembly 882187-001.
