NOTE: The default power supply for DL320e Gen8 server is a 350W Non Hot Plug, Non Redundant (ATX)
power supply.
NOTE: To choose a Redundant Common Slot Power Supply option for the DL320e Gen8 server, a Factory
Integrated Model must be chosen, beginning with a CTO server. Also, an HP DL320e Gen8 RPS Enablement
FIO Kit (675451-B21) is required.
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.
The 460W HP CS power supply option provides an efficiency rating of up to 94%. All HP Common Slot
power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and support redundant configurations.
NOTE: Mixing of power supplies (for instance Common Slot Platinum Plus power supplies and Common
Slot Gold 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 Plus 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
www.hp.com/go/ipd.
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: 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 80Plus.org.
Redundant Power: Optional (1+1 or n+n redundant) power supplies can be purchased through power
supply option kits (see Power Supplies for part numbers).
