HPE Common Slot Power
Supplies

HPE ProLiant Gen9 Common Slot Power Supplies are
supported across a wide range of HPE ProLiant and
Integrity servers and HPE storage solutions, reducing the
cost of maintaining spares.

Reduce power costs with up
to 94 percent eiciency

HPE Common Slot (CS) Power Supplies share
a common electrical and physical design
that allows for hot-swap, tool-less installation
into HPE server and storage solutions. HPE’s
CS Power Supplies oer high-eiciency
power options available in multiple input and
output options, allowing users to “right-size”
a power supply for specific server/storage
configurations and environments. This
flexibility helps to minimize power waste, lower
overall energy costs, and avoid “trapped”
power capacity in the data center.

They are ideal for ProLiant customers operating
mid-to-large data centers who want to reduce
operating expenses, and intelligently manage
power, downtime, and resources.

•Improved specifications for power factor

and ITHD at lower load levels, providing
better reliability, lowering power costs, and
minimizing the risks of unplanned downtime

•Multiple output options—available in 460 W,

750 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W—to let you
“right-size” your power requirements for
each server configuration

•Redundancy power management options,

including high-eiciency and load-balancing
modes to let you optimize server-power
eiciency in redundant power configurations

The 80 PLUS Platinum
dierence

The 80 PLUS program was created in 2004
through a joint eort between Ecova and the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). It
provides incentives for consumers (commercial
and residential) and manufacturers to buy
and sell high-eiciency power solutions to
lower power costs and waste while reducing
plug loads on overburdened power grids. The
certification enables customers worldwide to
use the most eicient power supplies available.
In addition, ENERGY STAR® v10 requires a
minimum of 80 PLUS Silver certification (89
percent power eiciency at 50 percent load).
HPE Platinum Plus Power Supplies provide up
to 94 percent eiciency (at 50 percent load),

vastly exceeding ENERGY STAR requirements.
And now, Hewlett Packard Enterprise oers
power supplies rated for Titanium level
certification with eiciency of up to 96
percent.

Reduce your power costs
and reclaim power capacity

Power expenses can account for more than
50 percent of the data center OPEX budget.
An increase in power eiciency can save your
enterprise thousands, or possibly millions,
of dollars annually. New Common Slot
Power Supplies can provide a savings of up
to 60 W per server by minimizing power
waste and reducing power requirements.
When combined with new low-voltage,
high-performance HPE SmartMemory,
you can reduce overall data center power
requirements by up to 10 percent3 (compared
to HPE ProLiant G6 power estimates).

Because HPE Common Slot Power Supplies
are available in multiple output options,
they can be right-sized for individual server
configurations. That helps you recover
“trapped” power capacity by reducing
overprovisioning of server power, allowing
you to improve overall compute density by
reallocating saved power within the data center.
