Common Slot ProLiant
HP has a new design for ProLiant power. The new Common Slot Power Supply bay. This design provides
the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on the cost of spares
and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs. Many HP ProLiant Servers
come with Common Slot, High Efficiency power supplies that allow you to right-size power supplies for
your server configuration. Common Slot (CS) designates commonality of the power supply across multiple
ProLiant servers. HP's new Common Slot power supplies are designed for highest efficiency to provide
power efficiency without degrading performance of the ProLiant. Power Supplies will have efficiency
ratings up to 94%. There are three power wattage options to choose from - 460W, 750W, and 1200W -
depending on the configuration of your server. To make sure you select the correct power supply to meet
your configuration, we suggest that you use the HP Power Advisor (
www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor
) to
decide the "Right-Size" for your configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark
Compliant, Hot Plug and Redundant.
It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Calculator in defining the "Right-Size" power supply
for your needs.
HP's ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies (460W & 750W) meet multiple Energy Efficiency Initiatives
including Climate Savers Computing Initiative GOLD, ECOS Consulting 80PLUS GOLD, and plans on offering
models that meet the Energy Star for Server requirements when they are published.
HP's ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies (1200W, 750W & 460W) meet multiple Energy Efficiency
Initiatives including Climate Savers Computing Initiative Platinum and ECOS Consulting 80PLUS Platinum
Power Supply requirements.
Redundant Power: Optional (1+ 1 or n+n redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power
supply option kits (see Redundant Options for part numbers).
NOTE:
Pre-Configured Performance models include two power supplies; Pre-Configured Base and Entry
models include one power supply. On Factory Integrated models, power supply must be selected from
available options.

Hot plug fans ship standard, N+1 fully redundant
(3+1) for 1 processor, (5+1) for 2 processors
NOTE:
Processor option kits include 2 additional fans when upgrading to 2 processors.
