HPE ProLiant Gen9 Performance servers. HPE's Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation
output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This
helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
Platinum-level certification with efficiency of up to 94%, and Titanium-level certification with
ncy of up to 96%. Support for HPE Power Discovery Services, via embedded power line communication technology, is also

Titanium-Certified Power Efficiency
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 devi
Who benefits from the 80PLUS power supply program?
What are the efficiency requirements for each certification level?
• Titanium (96%) power efficiency certification from 80Plus program –
efficiency certifications available in the IT industry
• Reduces data center operating costs related to power by reducing server power requirements
and power waste
• Tool-less hot plug design improves serviceability buy allowing quick and easy access to
system power supplies
• Common form factor across all ProLiant Gen9 Performance series servers allows multiple
server platforms to share power supply spares, reducing cost and space requirements for
spares
Options
• Multiple output options allowing users to "right-size" their power needs and avoid "trapped"
power capacity in their data centers caused by over-subscribing power needs
• Support for both low-line and high-line AC input voltages providing additional flexibility to
operate in multiple It environments (500W and 800W Platinum only). -48VDC, 277VAC and
380VDC input voltages are also available.
• Supports multiple operating modes to maximize power efficiency when configuring servers
with redundant power supplies
• Integrated support for HPE’s Power Discovery Services which communicates with the
intelligent PDU to monitor and manage power usage (800W Titanium and 1400W Platinum
Plus only)
ces.
• 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
