DC-power chassis HP is making the two models of controller-less chassis available with direct current (DC) power
supplies. They each have the two empty bays where users can insert one or two P2000 G3
controller(s). In addition, the P2000 chassis with LFF drive bay can have P2000 3.5-inch I/O modules
inserted to create a LFF DC-power JBOD.
The 500 watt power supply is designed to operate over the input range of -40VDC to -75VDC.
