Supermicro PWS-920P-1R Power Module

Power reliability and efficiency are critical in today’s data centers, and the Supermicro PWS-920P-1R Power Module is engineered to meet that demand with precision. This high-performance, modular power module is designed for servers and GPU-accelerated systems that require continuous uptime, minimal noise, and intelligent management. Built to deliver Platinum or Gold level efficiency, it helps data centers reduce energy costs while improving overall thermal performance. The PWS-920P-1R combines a compact, hot-swappable form factor with robust protection features, remote monitoring through PMBus, and seamless integration with DC input configurations. It is ideal for racks that demand high availability, scalable power delivery, and quiet operation in data halls, edge deployments, or office environments. In short, this power module supports modern enterprise workloads—ranging from virtualization and AI inference to large-scale database operations—without compromising reliability or energy stewardship. With its GPU-friendly design, EMI-conscious engineering, and compliance with industry standards, the PWS-920P-1R is a smart choice for organizations seeking to future-proof their infrastructure while maintaining low total cost of ownership.

  • High-efficiency design for lower operating costs: The PWS-920P-1R leverages Platinum and Gold level efficiency to minimize power loss and heat, delivering superior energy performance across a wide load spectrum. In real-world deployments, this translates to cooler data halls, reduced cooling requirements, and tangible annual savings on energy bills. The efficiency curve remains favorable even during peak processing bursts, helping servers deliver sustained performance with less thermal throttling.
  • Redundant, hot-swappable architecture for maximum uptime: Engineered for enterprise-grade availability, this power module supports 1+1 redundancy with a hot-swappable design. IT teams can perform maintenance or replacement without shutting down critical workloads, maintaining service continuity for virtualization platforms, databases, and GPU-rendering tasks. The modular approach also simplifies fleet management, enabling rapid scaling as workloads grow.
  • Flexible DC input options with comprehensive PMBus monitoring: The module is designed to accommodate DC input configurations commonly found in modern data centers and telecom environments. Complementing this flexibility, PMBus remote monitoring provides real-time visibility into voltage, current, power, and thermal conditions. Administrative teams can set alerts, capture telemetry, and perform remote control to optimize power delivery and fault response across heterogeneous server ecosystems.
  • GPU-ready performance with quiet operation: Optimized for servers with graphics cards and accelerator workloads, the PWS-920P-1R maintains stable, clean power delivery to high-performance GPUs while minimizing acoustic output. This makes it suitable for dense racks in data centers, GPU farms, and edge deployments where noise discipline and reliability are essential for user comfort and regulatory compliance.
  • Industry certifications and reliable build quality: With FCC Class B certification and EuP standard support, this power module meets stringent EMI and energy-efficiency requirements. The design emphasizes reliability, long service life, and compatibility with a broad range of servers and chassis. Built to endure the rigors of data-center environments, it remains a robust cornerstone for critical workloads and enterprise IT infrastructure.

How to install Supermicro PWS-920P-1R Power Module

  • Power down the server chassis and disconnect the main power source; discharge static electricity and verify that the system is safe to handle. Prepare the rack and ensure there is adequate clearance for hot-swapping the module.
  • If replacing an existing module, carefully remove the current PWS-920P-1R from its slot, following the chassis vendor’s guidelines for safe removal of redundant power modules. Confirm that the backplane and connectors are clean and free of debris.
  • Align the PWS-920P-1R with the server’s power-module backplane. Gently slide the module into the slot until it seats firmly and engages with the connectors. Secure any mounting hardware as required by the chassis design to prevent movement during operation and vibration.
  • Connect DC input cables according to the chassis specifications or ensure the DC supply is ready; if applicable, connect PMBus interfaces or management cables for remote telemetry. Power management settings in the system BIOS or a trusted management platform should be configured to recognize the redundant module and enable monitoring.
  • Power the server back on and verify operation. Use the management console to confirm that the module is recognized, view real-time voltage and current readings, and check for any fault indicators. Perform a functional test by loading representative applications or workloads to ensure stable delivery under peak conditions.
