Common Slot Power
Supply
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% and are available in two power output
options - 750W, and 1200W - allowing the user to "right-size" a power supply for their specific server
configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, hot-plug and support
redundant configurations. 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: 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.
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 www.80Plus.org .
NOTE: Redundant Power: Optional redundant power supplies can be purchased through power supply
option kits (see Power Supplies for part numbers).
System Fans System ships standard with 5 Dual fan modules.
