Common Slot Power
Supply
HP has a new design for ProLiant power. The new Common Slot Power Supply bay. This design provides
the customer with commonality in power supplies across multiple platforms to save on the cost of spares
and allows HP to offer multiple power solutions to fit the customers' needs. Many HP ProLiant Servers
come with Common Slot, High Efficiency and Right-Size Power Supplies. Common Slot (CS) designates
commonality of the power supply across multiple ProLiant servers. HP's new Common Slot power supplies
are designed for highest efficiency to provide power efficiency without degrading performance of the
ProLiant. Power Supplies will have efficiency ratings up to 92%. There are three Right Size power options
available, depending on the configuration of your server. To make sure you select the correct power
supply to meet your configuration, we suggest that you use the HP Power Advisor to decide the "Right-
Size" for your configuration. All HP Common Slot power sources are UL, CE Mark Compliant, Hot Plug and
Redundant.
It is highly recommended that you use the HP Power Advisor in defining the "Right-Size" power supply for
your needs. HP offers Power Supply Options:
460Watts, Common Slot, 92% Efficiency
750Watts, Common Slot, 92% Efficiency
460Watts, Common Slot, 94% Efficiency
750Watts, Common Slot, 94% Efficiency
1200Watts, Common Slot, -48V DC Power Supply
HP's ProLiant Common Slot Power supplies (460W & 750W) meet multiple Energy Efficiency Initiatives.
Climate Savers Computing Initiative GOLD, ECOS Consulting 80PLUS GOLD and plans on offering models
that meet the Energy Star for Server requirements when they are published.

Core Server Management ProLiant 100 Series G6
Core Management
Software
HP provides management solutions that are designed to simplify a server's
installation, configuration, and maintenance throughout the entire server
lifecycle. This provides the customers with higher levels of operational
efficiency and highly reliable systems.
While ProLiant 100 series G6 servers do not support the Insight Foundation
Suite for ProLiant, they support a key subset of this important suite software
tools and utilities which are very suitable for this class of server: SIM, SMH,
agents, providers, and a SmartStart 'like' deployment CD called Easy Set-up
which greatly simplifies server set-up. Additionally the DL100 and SL100 G6
models support the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSSTK), an automated
scalable deployment utility.
Information on core management supported on ProLiant 100 series G6 servers
can be found at these URLS:

storage and other infrastructure devices, (both HP and non-HP) across
multiple operating system platforms.
Insight Management
Agents
HP Insight Management Agents and Insight Management Providers are
available for HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) Integration.
ProLiant 100-series G6 servers can use the same SNMP based Insight
Management Agents supported by other ProLiant servers. As a result,
administrators can use HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) 5.3 and
QuickSpecs

greater to manage ProLiant 100-series G6 servers. Administrators can
also use any other SNMP- based management tool. These agents are
obtained as part of the ProLiant 100-series model-specific "Easy Set-
up" CDs, or through: www.hp.com/servers/easysetup
The following capabilities are enabled on the 100-series G6 servers by
the SNMP agents:
Health monitoring capabilities, including monitoring for drives, fans,
network, power supplies, and temperature
Alerting capabilities, including basic alert notification for Smart Array
drive pre-failure only
Performance monitoring capabilities providing information on
processor, memory, disk free space, network utilization
NOTE: For additional information, please see: http://www.hp.com/go/insight
Easy Set-up CD Easy Set-up CDs are available on all 100-series G6 servers and are also
available as an ISO image web download. HP ProLiant Easy Set-up CDs provide
easy, step-by-step, single and multi-server server utilities for the ProLiant
100-series G6 servers to streamline server setup for 100-series G6 servers.
The user experience is consistent with SmartStart and offers the following
capabilities:

HP Power Supplies NOTE: Many HP ProLiant Servers now offer new power options, including Common Slot
Power Supplies. These power supplies come in multiple power ratings and higher
efficiency levels to offer the Right Size solution to fit your configuration. This provides
improved power delivery and the advantage of reclaiming lost power. Prior to making a
power supply selection it is "highly recommended" that the "HP Power Advisor" is run to
determine the right size power supply for your server configuration. The HP Power
Advisor is located at: www.hp.com/go/proliant-energy-efficient

CAUTION: Optional Power Supplies used for Redundancy "MUST" match the original
supplied power supply. Upgrades for more power headroom, when replacing the
original power supplies must match if purchased for redundancy. Option Kits contain
optional power supply, an IEC power cable and PDU IEC cables. In ProLiant Servers that
have more than one power slot (bay), same size power supplies are recommended. If
non-matched power supplies are inserted you will get errors and operation will fail.
