Support for Redundant
Power Supplies
An HPE ProLiant server solutions configured with 2 Flex Slot Power Supplies – 500W, 800W, 1400W,
1600W
, or 1800W-2200W - supports the following three power scenarios:
• Operation with a single power supply
• Operation with redundant power supplies in load-balanced mode
• Operation with redundant power supplies in high-efficiency mode
A single
Flex Slot Power Supply supporting the entire load of the server can achieve the highest
efficiency when operating in the middle range (50%) of its capacity.
For redundant
Flex Slot Power Supplies operating in load-balanced mode (the default mode when
adding redundant power supplies), the load is shared e
qually between the two power supplies. In
general, the load
-
balanced mode offers better efficiency for loads requiring more than 60 percent of the
primary power supply capacity.
When high
-efficiency mode is enabled for redundant supplies (via the server's ROM-based setup utility
under System options
-
> Redundancy options), each power supply in the server is designated as either a
primary or secondary supply, and the entire server load is shifted to the primary power supply. This
allows the primary power supply to operate at high
er efficiency points on the load curve while the
secondary power supply operates in idle mode, providing no output power and consuming very little
energy (typically two to four watts per supply). The user can also specify that odd or even power
supplies wi
ll be designated manually or automatically as secondary supplies. This flexibility allows users
to balance the load across a rack manually or automatically.
