HPE Flexible Slot(Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physicaldesign that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE server solutions. 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 reducepower 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 efficiency of up to 96%. Support for HPE Power Discovery Services, via embedded power line communication technology on the Gen9 ProLiant Servers, is also available with the 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 HPEInsight Control to manage power usage and efficiency in the data center.
