Electrical characteristics for the TS4500 tape library frame
models
Table 40 lists the electrical characteristics for the TS4500 tape library frame models.
To calculate the total power consumption (in watts) of a particular library
configuration, multiply the quantity of each power-consuming item in the
configuration by the corresponding value in Table 38 on page 93.
Note: Library power consumption is dynamic and usage dependent. Short peaks
might exceed the maximum continuous power values. Typical average power
consumption is lower than the calculated maximum continuous value because all
drives are not likely to be active simultaneously.

Notes:
1. Maximum certified electrical limits for a single frame. Do not use nameplate limits to calculate product power or
cooling requirements.
2. Electrical limits increase for frames with FC 1951 because the PDUs for FC 1951 can be used to supply power for
up to two adjacent frames.
