- Maximized efficiency with minimal waste: This power supply delivers up to 96% efficiency, earning 80 PLUS Titanium certification. By converting more of the AC input into usable DC power and reducing heat, it lowers energy costs and improves data center PUE. This efficiency translates to cooler rack environments, less cooling load, and a smaller environmental footprint for high-density deployments, all while preserving peak server performance for demanding workloads.
- Flexible slot, hot-plug design for zero-downtime maintenance: The flex slot form factor is purpose-built for rapid installation and removal within compatible HPE servers. Its hot-plug capability enables technicians to swap a failed or upgrade unit without powering down the entire system, reducing maintenance windows and preserving service continuity for mission-critical applications. This design also supports streamlined spare parts management and faster mean time to repair in busy data center environments.
- Scalable power to match workloads: With a power range spanning 1800W to 2200W, this kit accommodates a wide variety of configurations—from lightweight virtualization hosts to dense, high-demand workloads. The scalable wattage supports aggressive growth and capacity planning, while redundancy options protect against unexpected power disruptions. As workloads evolve, the kit remains compatible with a growing set of HPE ProLiant servers and Flex Slot chassis, enabling a future-proofed infrastructure footprint.
- Enterprise reliability and robust protection: Built for 24/7 operation, the HPE power supply includes comprehensive safeguards such as over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit, and thermal protections. Redundancy support and high-quality components minimize the risk of unexpected interruptions. The kit is designed for long service life in data center conditions, combining resilience with consistent power delivery to sustain critical IT services and optimize uptime across the fleet.
- Comprehensive lifecycle and serviceability: The hot-plug, modular design simplifies field service and lifecycle management. Clear status indicators, standardized connectors, and access to trusted HP/HPE spare parts streamline replacements and maintenance across multiple server generations. This focus on serviceability helps operators reduce downtime, manage inventory more effectively, and maintain predictable costs over the server lifecycle.

How to install HPE 1800W-2200W Flex Slot Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply Kit
- Preparation: Power down the host server, unplug from the power source, and discharge static electricity. Verify you have the correct spare part and a compatible chassis for Flex Slot hot-plug operation.
- Access: Remove the server cover to expose the backplane and the power supply bay. Identify the empty Flex Slot slot that will accept the new power supply unit and confirm there is clearance for insertion and removal from the chassis.
- Removal (if replacing): If you are replacing an existing supply, release the retention latch or lever, slide the unit out of the slot, and disconnect any cables if required by your chassis design. Place the old supply in a safe area for proper disposal according to your facility’s procedures.
- Insertion: Align the new power supply with the Flex Slot and slide it firmly into the slot until the connector seats and the retention mechanism engages. Do not force the unit; if it does not fully seat, remove and reinsert to ensure proper alignment.
- Connection and verification: Reconnect any power cables to the supply as specified for your server model, reattach the server cover, and power the system back on. Observe the LED indicators on the power supply and the server management interface to confirm a healthy, redundant power path.
- Post-install checks: Run a basic server power-on self-test (POST) and verify that the operating system sees the power supply as online in the hardware management tools. Confirm that no warning events are logged related to power delivery or thermal safety and monitor the system during initial operation for stability.
