Luna Backup HSM G5

External Power Supply The Luna Backup HSM G5 now ships with an external power supply. Previously, these HSMs relied on an internal power supply, requiring the HSM to be periodically powered on to recharge internal capacitors. Failure to charge the capacitors could result in an inability to power on the HSM. With the introduction of external power supplies, periodically powering on the HSM is no longer required. A failed external power supply can be replaced and there is no need to return the HSM for repair (RMA). NOTE External power supplies do contain capacitors which may be affected by extended periods of being unpowered, but they are more easily replaced in the event of failure. |
