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 up
to 1200W power output. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and
support redundant configurations.
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 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).
