HPE Power Module — High-Efficiency Redundant Server Power Module

Designed for enterprise data centers, the HPE Power Module delivers reliable, scalable power to HPE server ecosystems. This modular, hot-swappable power supply is engineered to maximize uptime, minimize energy consumption, and simplify maintenance in dense deployments. Its compact form fits neatly into standard HPE chassis, while intelligent power management provides real-time health status, fault isolation, and smooth transitions during load changes. Whether you’re refreshing legacy infrastructure or building a new fleet, the HPE Power Module is built to meet mission-critical demands with efficiency, safety, and long-term cost savings in mind.

• Unmatched uptime with hot-swappable redundancy — The HPE Power Module is designed for hot swapping in live systems, enabling maintenance without downtime. It supports redundant power paths and safe removal procedures so workloads keep running while you upgrade or replace a module. LED indicators and integration with server management tools give immediate visibility into module health, input voltage, output current, and fault status. In high-availability environments, this design minimizes single points of failure, helping you meet strict service-level agreements. With automatic failover between healthy rails, power continuity is preserved even during component replacement, delivering a robust, resilient infrastructure that reduces maintenance windows and improves overall availability.
• Energy efficiency that lowers total cost of ownership — Built for modern data centers, the HPE Power Module emphasizes energy efficiency and thermal performance. By delivering clean, stable power with high conversion efficiency, it reduces waste heat, lowers cooling requirements, and helps shrink your data center’s energy footprint. The module leverages power factor correction and intelligent power management to optimize energy use across varying server loads. In practice, this means lower electricity bills, less heat in the rack, and a cooler, quieter data center environment. Over the life of your hardware, the efficiency gains translate into a lower total cost of ownership and a more environmentally friendly IT operation.
• Seamless compatibility with the HPE ecosystem — Engineered to work in harmony with HPE servers, storage, and management software, the Power Module integrates with the server family’s power architecture and supports standard backplane connectivity. Its standardized form factor and hot-plug interface simplify procurement, deployment, and scaling across data-center environments. Whether you’re expanding capacity, refreshing components, or building out a new rack, the modular design ensures predictable behavior and consistent performance across your fleet, reducing integration risk and speeding time-to-value for your IT investments.
• Safety, reliability, and global compliance — The HPE Power Module adheres to global safety standards and environmental regulations, including UL and CE marks and RoHS compliance. Protective features such as over-current protection, short-circuit protection, over-temperature monitoring, and surge protection guard both the module and the host server. Durable construction, EMI/EMC shielding, and rugged connectors ensure reliability in dynamic data-center environments. Clear fault reporting, straightforward replacement procedures, and serviceable components minimize downtime and maximize the product’s lifecycle value for enterprise IT teams.
• Flexible deployment, warranty, and support options — HPE Power Module is offered with flexible warranty and support options designed to fit enterprise budgets. It supports rapid deployment and allows module-level replacements without requiring a full system outage, backed by HPE’s global service network. For operators, this means faster mean time to repair (MTTR), reduced maintenance costs, and predictable hardware spend. Whether you’re expanding capacity, refreshing aging components, or building a new data center, the power module provides a scalable, reliable foundation with ongoing firmware updates and Spare-part availability across regions.

How to install HPE Power Module

• Prepare the system according to your server maintenance guidelines. If your environment supports hot-swapping, ensure proper ESD protection and awareness of live-system procedures. Determine the correct SKU for your chassis and confirm compatibility with your HPE server model.
• If performing a non-hot-swap replacement, safely power down the server and disconnect power before proceeding. For hot-swappable installations, follow your server’s maintenance mode instructions and any LED indicators that signal readiness for module insertion.
• Open the power-module bay or slot within the server chassis. Remove any existing module or blanking plate as required by your hardware, taking care not to disturb adjacent components.
• Align the HPE Power Module with the bay backplane connectors. Push the module firmly into the slot until it seats and a secure latch engages. Ensure the connector engages completely and the module is visually seated and level.
• Secure any retention hardware and verify that the module’s LED indicators reflect normal operation. Cross-check status in the server management interface (BMC/iLO) to confirm healthy input and output states and absence of faults.
• Power on the system (if powered down) and observe post-insertion behavior. Run a quick health check through the management console to confirm power has been correctly allocated to the host server and that no fault conditions are present. If your environment supports fault injection testing, perform a controlled test to validate failover behavior and redundancy.
