HP BladeSystem p-Class 1U and 3U power subsystem features
•
Availability—high availability, fully redundant configurations, including hot-plug redundant power
supplies, redundant AC inputs, and a hot-plug power management module that operates
independently of the server blades and interconnects
In the 3U power subsystem, DC circuit breakers enable shutting off the power to individual server
blade enclosures for safe physical access without interrupting the operation of other blade
enclosures.
•
Intelligent infrastructure— The hot-plug power management module monitors the power subsystem
components and regulates the power-up sequence of newly installed server blades and
interconnects switches. The power management module is cabled to the server blade enclosure
management module(s) to facilitate communication of management information, such as server
blade and interconnect location, power supply budget, and health status.
•
Investment protection—All current and future server blades and interconnect options can be used
with any of the power subsystem options.
•
Tooless installation and serviceability—power enclosures are easily installed with spring-loaded
rack rails and thumbscrews.
