HP Entry-Level Power Supplies

Looking for high-efficiency power solutions at an entry-level price for your ProLiant Gen9 Essential Server? HP Entry-Level Power
Supplies offer an optimized set of features with options for both redundant and non-redundant power configurations.

The HP 550W FIO Power Supply offers Silver-certified 80 Plus power efficiency (up to 89%) with an optimized set of features for
non-redundant power configurations.

The HP 800W Gold (Redundant)/900W (Non-Redundant) AC Power Input Module with Power Backplane can be configured to
support power redundancy in ProLiant servers that offer only a single power supply bay, providing additional protection against
power loss. With an 80 Plus Gold power efficiency rating (up to 92%), this power option helps to reduce operating expenses while
protecting against trapped power capacity in the data center. Hot-plug AC power input modules allow for better serviceability
with fast and easy deployment and replacement.

80Plus Certification

The 80PLUS test protocol was developed jointly by Ecos Plug Load Solutions and the Electric Power
Research Institute (EPRI) in 2003, with the program being formally launched in 2004.

The 80 PLUS performance specification requires power supplies in servers to be 80% or greater energy
efficient at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load with a true power factor of 0.9 or greater. This makes an
80 PLUS certified power supply substantially more efficient than typical power supplies found in many
other electrical devices.

Who benefits from the 80PLUS power supply program?

 Commercial/Residential Consumers - empowered with information regarding energy efficient

IT options that help them cut energy costs and reduce their environmental impact

 Utility/Power Providers - participation in a program that focuses on reducing power demands

on overburdened grids as well as reducing power waste and its associated environmental
impact
