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 eiciency
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 oer high-eiciency
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-eiciency and load-balancing
modes to let you optimize server-power
eiciency in redundant power configurations
The 80 PLUS Platinum
dierence
The 80 PLUS program was created in 2004
through a joint eort between Ecova and the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). It
provides incentives for consumers (commercial
and residential) and manufacturers to buy
and sell high-eiciency 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 eicient power supplies available.
In addition, ENERGY STAR® v10 requires a
minimum of 80 PLUS Silver certification (89
percent power eiciency at 50 percent load).
HPE Platinum Plus Power Supplies provide up
to 94 percent eiciency (at 50 percent load),
vastly exceeding ENERGY STAR requirements.
And now, Hewlett Packard Enterprise oers
power supplies rated for Titanium level
certification with eiciency 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 eiciency 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.

Enable HPE Power
Discovery Services
HPE Power Discovery Services—which
combines HPE Platinum and Platinum Plus
Power Supplies with the HPE iPDU and
HPE Insight Control Power Management
software—enables the collection and display
of critical temperature, workload, power,
and location data for servers in the new
HPE Intelligent Series rack-level enclosure.
This data lets you automatically track server
assets and locations, and intelligently place
workloads for optimum performance. Power
Discovery Services is enabled through the
embedded power line communication port
located within the blue power connectors
for both Platinum and Platinum Plus Power
Supplies. These ports facilitate communication
between the server and HPE iPDU, creating an
energy-aware network between IT systems and
facilities management. HPE Power Discovery
Services prevent 100 percent of typical manual
configuration errors, provide a 25 percent
reduction in the causes of data center outages,
and shrink deployment times from hours to
minutes while helping users to reclaim up to
10 percent more usable power per circuit.

Common Slot DC and
AC power options
In addition to traditional AC power supplies,
HPE Common Slot Power Supplies are
available in 48 Vdc, 380 Vdc, and 277 Vac
power input options. These power supplies
help increase data center eiciency and
reduce power-related costs by providing new
high-eiciency input voltage alternatives.
They are ideal for telecommunications
customers and large scale out data centers
that require a 48 Vdc power source, and for
those seeking the high eiciency of 380 Vdc
or 277 Vdc power distribution. These power
supply options include many of the features
and benefits oered with HPE Platinum Plus
Common Slot Power Supplies.
