HPE Flexible Slot Power Supplies
HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less
installation into
HPE ProLiant Gen9 Performance servers. HPE's Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation
and offer multiple power
output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This
flexibility
helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
Flex Slot power supplies are rated for
Platinum-level certification with efficiency of up to 94%, and Titanium-level certification with
efficie
ncy of up to 96%. Support for HPE Power Discovery Services, via embedded power line communication technology, is also
available with the
800W Titanium and 1400W Platinum Plus model. This feature enables each server to communicate
identification, location,
and power-related data to the Intelligent Power Distribution Unit in the rack which can then be shared with
HPE
Insight Control to manage power usage and efficiency in the data center.
HPE
Flexible Slot Battery Backup enables backup power in the same form factor as Flex Slot power supplies. The Battery Backup
can provide up to 750W of power up to 60 seconds, or up to 500W when configured in paralleled configuration.
