Common Slot ProLiantCommon Slot ProLiant
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.
