The ability to use HP CS power supplies across multiple platforms simplifies maintenance for an IT department. Using a common power supply form factor requires fewer maintenance spares and decreases inventory costs and facility space requirements. Common Slot power supplies are qualified with specific HP products based on actual power output requirements. These qualifications are defined in the section “Installation consideration with Common Slot power supplies.”
Table 2 and Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C compares and illustrates the efficiency of HP Platinum Plus, HP Platinum, and HP Gold CS power supplies as tested internally with the internal fans as part of the efficiency calculation. The 80 Plus certification agency data reflected in Table 2 does not include power consumed by the fans as part of the efficiency calculation.
