HP Common Slot (CS) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot-swap, tool-less installation into HP server and storage solutions. CS power supplies are available in multiple high-efficiency input and output options, allowing users to “right-size” a power supply for specific server/storage configurations and environments. This flexibility helps to minimize power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center. A key part of the HP Thermal Discovery Services, CS Platinum/Platinum Plus Power Supplies provide the IT industry’s highest level of power efficiency(94%), helping customers to reduce power requirements by up to 60W per server and reducing overall data center power requirements by up to 10% (as compared to ProLiant G6 power estimates). CS Platinum/Platinum Plus power supplies also enable HP Power Discovery Services which focus on increasing compute density while reducing data center outages.

Industry leading power supply technology.
Platinum level certification by 80Plus program and the EPRI ensures the highest level of power efficiency (up to 94%) in the IT industry. HP Common Slot design simplifies the serviceability and maintenance of power supplies across the HP portfolio of server and storage products. Multiple input and output options ensures maximum flexibility in usage while minimizing the chances of creating "trapped" power capacity in the data center. Multiple power management options help maximize power efficiency when using redundant power supplies. Enables HP Power Discovery Services that helps customers reduce human error during the installation process, reclaim over-provisioned power capacity in the data center, and accurately measure/monitor power usage.
