Product Description
IBM TS4300 Tape Library Model L3A Feature 1900 Additional Power Supply (P/N 01KP927 or 00VJ940 equivalent)
The IBM Feature 1900 (Additional Power Supply) is a hot-swap, redundant power supply module designed for the TS4300 Tape Library (machine type 3555, models including L3A expansion module). This optional PSU provides redundancy for enhanced availability, allowing the library to continue operation during single PSU failure or maintenance. It is required for expansion modules with installed tape drives and optional on base modules for N+1/N+N configurations, ensuring reliable power delivery for unattended backup and archive workloads in AIX, IBM i, Linux, and VIOS environments connected to IBM Power Systems.
Features
- Hot-swap design enables replacement without library downtime or data interruption
- Supports redundant operation (N+1 or N+N) when paired with primary PSU
- High-efficiency AC-DC conversion (80 PLUS Silver certified)
- Built-in fault detection, status LEDs, and monitoring integration with library firmware
- Over-current, over-voltage, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection
- Variable-speed cooling fans for efficient thermal management and reduced noise
- IEC 320-C14 power inlet for standard C13 cords
- Tool-less installation into designated PSU bay on TS4300 base or expansion modules

Compatibility
Fully compatible with IBM TS4300 Tape Library (machine type 3555) running attached to IBM Power Systems with AIX (7.1+), IBM i (7.1+), Linux, or VIOS:
- TS4300 base module (3555-L3A / 3555L3A)
- TS4300 expansion module (6741-L3U / 6741L3U – Model L3A)
- Connected Power Systems:
- Power8-era: S814 (8286-41A), S824 (8286-42A), E870/E880 (9119-MHE/MME)
- Power9-era: S914 (9009-41A), S922 (9009-22A), S924 (9009-42A), E950/E980
- Power10-era: S1022/S1024, E1080 (9080-HEX), and later models (Expansion modules require PSU if drives are installed; consult IBM documentation for exact PSU bay population, power cord requirements, firmware levels, and redundancy setup. Library supports SAS/FC tape drives and multi-module scaling up to 16 modules.)
