HPE 290W FIO Power Supply
HPE 900W AC 240V DC Redundant Power Supply
NOTE:
The 900W RPS would only be available in Jan 2016.
HPE Entry-Level Power Supplies provide lower-cost options for customers trying to balance their need for
enterprise class efficiency and reliability while maintaining lowest possible hardware costs. The above
mentioned Entry-Level power supply options have been designed specifically for HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen9
Server.
The HPE 290W FIO Power Supply is the standard, non-redundant AC power supply. It features 92% power
efficiency with a set of features optimized for the DL20 Gen9 rack server.
The HPE 900W Gold (Redundant) AC/240V DC Power Input Module with Power Backplane can be
configured to support power redundancy in ProLiant servers that offer only a single power supply bay,
providing additional protection against power loss. With an 80 Plus Gold power efficiency rating (up to
92%), this power option helps to reduce operating expenses while protecting against trapped power
capacity in the data center. The power backplane option can support up to two (2) hot-plug AC power
input modules. This Redundant power supply option is only supported on DL20 Gen9 SFF chassis model.
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 located
at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/power-
protection/options/power-cable.html
To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HPE Power Advisor Tool

UEFI/Legacy ROM
HPE Server UEFI /Legacy ROM
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better manageability and
more secured configuration while interacting with your server at boot time. HPE ProLiant Gen9 platform
defaults to UEFI and can be factory or field configured for Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.
NOTE: The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HPE ROM-
Based Setup Utility (RBSU) of
legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliantuefi/docs.
UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HPE ProLiant servers such as:
•Secure Boot
•Operating system specific functionality
•Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives
•USB 3.0 Stack
•Embedded UEFI Shell
•Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using HPE RESTful API.
•PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
•Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM
For more information please visit http://www.hp.com/go/proliant/uefi.
NOTE: For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured
properly to support UEFI.
NOTE: HPE Legacy FIO Mode Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in Legacy
mode in the factory.
