Common Slot Power
Supplies
NOTE:
Mixing of power supplies in the same server is not supported. All power supplies inside a server
must be exactly the same model. Mixing Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus certified power supplies is not
supported.
HP's Common Slot (CS) power supplies allow for commonality of power supplies across a wide range of
ProLiant and Integrity servers, as well as HP Storage solutions, and are designed to provide the highest
power supply efficiency without degrading system performance. HP CS power supplies are tested by the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and certified through the ECOS 80 Plus power supply program. HP
CS power supply options provide efficiency ratings of up to 94% (80 Plus Platinum) and are available in
two power output options - 750W, and 1200W - allowing the user to "right-size" a power supply for their
specific server configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and
support redundant configurations. It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Advisor in defining
the "Right-Size" power supply for your needs. HP Power Advisor can be accessed at:
www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor
.
NOTE:
Mixing of power supplies in the same server is not supported. All power supplies must be of the
same output and efficiency rating. If non-matched power supplies are inserted you will get errors and
operation will fail.
HP CS Platinum power supplies are required when enabling HP's Intelligent Power Discovery (IPD) solution.
IPD is the first technology to create an automated, energy-aware network between IT systems and
facilities. This allows your company to reclaim millions of dollars in wasted power capacity and downtime
costs across data centers. For more information on HP's IPD solution, go to

.
NOTE:
The 80 PLUS program is a unique forum that unites electric utilities, the computer industry, and
consumers in an effort to bring energy efficient technology solutions to the marketplace. 80 Plus
independently tests power supply efficiency and publicly posts the results on www.80Plus.org.
Redundant Power: Optional redundant power supplies can be purchased through power supply option kits
(see Power Supplies for part numbers).
