HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen11 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
All pre-configured servers ship with a standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A). This jumper cord is also included with each standard AC power supply option kit. If a different power cord is required, please check the ProLiant Power Cables web page.
To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HPE Power Advisor Tool.

Notes:
– HPE DX ProLiant platforms are a Server Appliance: and Energy Star except.
– Server Appliance:
– A computer server that is bundled with a pre-installed OS and application software that is used to perform a dedicated function or set of tightly coupled functions.
– Server appliances deliver services through one or more networks (e.g., IP or SAN), and are typically managed through a web or command line interface. Server appliance hardware and software configurations are customized by the vendor to perform a specific task (e.g., name services, firewall services, authentication services, encryption services, and voice-over-IP (VoIP) services), and are not intended to execute user-supplied software.

| Notes: – Memory DIMM availability with a server platform is dependent upon completion of certification testing. – The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model. – System may throttle if ambient temp. is over 30C. – Memory compatibility may vary or be limited within a specific server family depending upon the specific configuration being requested. Because each server environment and requirements can vary, memory compatibility is based not only upon the server family, but may also be affected by the amount and type of additional hardware options installed within a specific server configuration. For this reason, some HPE memory DIMMs may be qualified for a server model or family and yet occasionally not be supported with limited configurations within that server family. Please consult with the HPE server QuickSpecs or your HPE representative if you have any questions regarding memory compatibility with a specific HPE server configuration. | |

HPE Power SuppliesHPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center. | |

- − To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors.
- − When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
- − The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
- − The maximum memory capacity is a function of the number of DIMM slots on the platform, the largest DIMM capacity qualified on the platform, the number and model of installed processors qualified on the platform.
- − To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE DDR5 Smart Memory is required. For additional information, please see the: HPE DDR5 Smart Memory QuickSpecs

Acoustic Noise
Listed are the declared mean A-Weighted sound power levels (LwAm), declared average bystander position A-Weighted sound pressure levels (LpAm) and the statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LwA,m when the product is operating in a 23°C ambient environment. Noise emissions were measured in accordance with ISO 7779 (ECMA 74) and declared in accordance with ISO 9296 (ECMA 109). The listed sound levels apply to standard shipping configurations. Additional options may result in increased sound levels. Please have your HPE representative provide information from the HPE EMESC website for further technical details regarding the configurations listed below.
| Idle | |
|---|---|
| LWAd | 5 .0 B Base |
| LpAm | 36 dBA Base |
| Operating | |
| LWAd | 5.5 B Base |
| LpAm | 37 dBA Base |
Notes:
– The declared mean A-weighted sound power level, LWA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the measured.
– A-weighted sound power levels for a randomly selected sample, rounded to the nearest 0,1 B.
– The declared mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level, LpA,m, is computed as the arithmetic average of the measured A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the bystander positions for a randomly selected sample, rounded to the nearest 1 dB.
– The statistical adder for verification, Kv, is a quantity to be added to the declared mean A-weighted sound
power level, LWA,m, such that there will be a 95 % probability of acceptance, when using the verification procedures of ISO 9296, if no more than 6,5 % of the batch of new equipment, has A-weighted sound power levels greater than (LWA,m + Kv).
– The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd), can be computed from the sum of LWA,m and Kv.
– All measurements made to conform to ISO 7779 / ECMA-74 and declared to conform to ISO 9296 / ECMA-109.
– B, dB, abbreviations for bels and decibels, respectively, where 1 B = 10 dB.
– The results in this declaration apply only to the model numbers listed above when operating and tested according to the indicated modes and standards. A system with additional configuration components or increased operating functionality may increase the noise emission values.
