Power supplies

The server supports up to two redundant power supplies. Standard models come with one or two power supplies (model dependent; see Table 2). Up to two hot-swap redundant 1400 W AC power supplies (80 PLUS Platinum certification). 900 W power supplies also available through CTO or Special Bid.

Installing a second power supply requires that the processor and memory expansion tray (88Y7365) or the power interposer card (88Y7367) be installed. The power interposer card option enables redundancy power support when the processor and memory expansion tray is not installed. If you do not have the processor and memory expansion tray installed and want to install two power supplies, then the power interposer card must be installed.
