Power Supply Unit HPE 656363-B21

HP Common Slot (CS) Power Supplies are designed for hot-swap, tool-less installation in HP servers and storage systems. They follow a common electrical and physical design that enables compatibility across compatible HP platforms and are offered in multiple high-efficiency input and output variants so customers can choose the appropriate power capacity for specific server and storage configurations.

Advantages

CS power supplies allow right-sizing of power to reduce wasted capacity and lower energy costs. With efficiency up to 96%, they can reduce server power requirements by up to 60 W per server and lower overall data center power consumption by up to 10% compared with prior-generation ProLiant G6 estimates. Platinum Plus and Titanium models support additional HP Power Discovery Services to help increase compute density and reduce the risk of data center outages.

Key specifications

• Common electrical and physical design for hot-swap, tool-less installation
• Multiple high-efficiency input and output options
• Efficiency up to 96%
• Potential reduction of up to 60 W per server in power requirements
• Possible overall data center power reduction up to 10% versus ProLiant G6 estimates

How to use

Install the CS power supply into the designated common slot of the compatible HP server or storage chassis using the tool-less hot-swap mechanism. Select the power rating that matches the server or storage configuration to avoid overprovisioning. Monitor power and thermal metrics through HP management tools and, if available, enable HP Thermal Discovery and Power Discovery Services for optimized efficiency and capacity planning.

Recommendations

Choose a CS power supply model with efficiency and capacity appropriate for your server density; use HP Thermal Discovery and Power Discovery Services where supported to improve energy efficiency and reduce the risk of overloaded power capacity.
