QU626A is the HPE StoreEver MSL6480 Scalable Expansion Module, the 6U, 80-slot unit that adds capacity to an MSL6480 tape library. It contains no tape drives; each expansion module can be fitted with up to six LTO-9 or LTO-8 half-height Fibre Channel or SAS drives and holds up to 80 cartridges.
A library takes up to six expansion modules, placed above or below the base module, for 560 slots in a 42U rack. Expansion modules are customer-installable and easy to configure and remove. Every module carries redundant, hot-swappable power supplies.
The module ships with two 2.5 m C13/C14 PDU power cords, rack-mount hardware, a getting started poster and the module interconnect cable that joins it to the library. An expansion module weighs 80.3 lb (36.5 kg) out of the box.
Drives are fitted with separate upgrade kits, for example the Q6Q67A LTO-8 Fibre Channel drive upgrade kit or the R6Q74A LTO-9 Fibre Channel drive upgrade kit.
HPE spare numbers for the expansion module include the expansion module chassis 723571-001, the expansion controller 723574-001 with interconnect cable, the power supply 723572-001, the chassis fan 723576-001 and the rack mount kit 723582-001.
