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 choose the right-size a power supply for any specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.

The standard 6-foot IEC C-13/C-14 jumper cord (A0K02A) is 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 .

European Union Erp Lot 9 Regulation

Beginning on January 1st, 2024, units sold into the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland or Turkey, must include more efficient AC power supplies: 94% for multi-output and 96% for single-output. HPE Flexible Slot power supplies are single-output, and part numbers 865438-B21, P03178-B21, and P44712-B21 are 96% efficient, thus meeting requirements.

HPE is on target to fulfil compliant systems ahead of time and will begin enforcing these requirements in advance to satisfy requests with the current power supplies by the set deadline.

Step 3: Choose GPUs

Please select the GPU from the options below.

For new Gen11 memory population rule whitepaper and optimal memory performance guidelines, please go to: HPE Memory Population Rules

Notes:

Double Wide GPU can be selected in multiples of 2 only (i.e. Qty2 or Qty4).

– Mixing of different GPU models is not supported.

– System memory capacity is recommended to be 2x GPU memory capacity.

GPU Information

Step 4: Choose Memory Options

Please select two or more memory kits from below.

For new Gen11 memory population rule whitepaper and optimal memory performance guidelines, please go to: HPE Memory Population Rules

Notes:

– Quantity of memory DIMMs selected per socket must be 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12. For DL380a Gen11, select 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 DIMMs.

– Mixing of 3DS memory and non-3DS memory is not supported.

– Rank mixing is not allowed.

– No x4 mixing with x8 across a socket.

– 4800 MT/s memory SKUs offer a transfer rate of up to 4800 MT/s at 1 DIMM per channel and up to 4400 MT/s at 2 DIMMs per channel, depending on CPU selection. The maximum memory speed and capacity is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.

– HPE Server Memory compatibility for a specific server platform may vary or be limited within a server platform 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 an HPE server model or familyand yet occasionally not be supported with some configurations within that server family.

Step 5: Choose Storage Options

Please select one drive cage from below.

DX380a Gen11 supports balanced storage configuration via direct connection or dual controllers, delivering consistent high performance across two processors

Notes:

– DX380a Gen11 only supports NVMe SSDs – U.3, E3.S

– Mixing of storage controllers is not supported.

Step 6: Choose Power Supplies

Notes:

– DX380a Gen11 4DW CTO Server requires 4 power supplies to be selected.

– Select 2 identical power supplies for power domain 1 (PSU 1 & 2).

– Select 2 identical power supplies for power domain 2 (PSU 3 & 4).

– Mixing of 2 different power supplies in the same power domain is not supported.

– Prior to making a power supply selection it is highly recommended that the HPE Power

Advisor is run to determine the right size power supply for your server configuration. The HPE Power Advisor is located at: https://poweradvisorext.it.hpe.com/?Page=Index .

Notes:

– Cells without entries represent configurations not supported, and if populated, the server may result in non-optimal memory performance or other unexpected behavior.

– ¹ Support SGX (Software Guard Extensions).

– ² Support Hemi (hemisphere mode).

General Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:

• – Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
• – If only one processor is installed in a two-processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
• – 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.
• – White DIMM slots denote the first slot to be populated in a channel.
• – Mixing of RDIMM types is not supported.
• – 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, and the number and model of installed processors qualified on the platform.
• – For details on the HPE Server Memory Options Population Rules, visit:
• https://hpe.seismic.com/Link/Content/DCjjRTHfP6C8HGFRbjWJ7B37H43d
• – To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE DDR5 Smart Memory is required.
• – For additional information, refer to the HPE DDR5 Smart Memory QuickSpecs .

Altitude

  • 3050 m (10,000 ft). This value may be limited by the type and number of options installed. Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).
• – Non-operating

  • 9 144 m (30,000 ft). Maximum allowable altitude change rate is 457 m/min (1500 ft/min).

Acoustic Noise

Listed are the declared mean A-Weighted sound power levels (LWA,m), 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.

Notes:

– Acoustics levels presented here are generated by the test configuration only. Acoustics levels will vary depending on system configuration. Values are subject to change without notification and are for reference only.

– Product conformance to cited product specifications is based on sample (type) testing, evaluation, or assessment. This product or family of products is eligible to bear the appropriate compliance logos and statements.

– The Listed sound levels apply to standard shipping configurations. Additional options may result in increased sound levels.

– 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.
