The hot-plug architecture helps data-center teams replace a supported PSU without taking the entire server offline.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 720479-B21 is an 800W Flex Slot Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply for supported HPE server platforms, intended for replacement, expansion, and power-redundancy deployments. Compatibility: supported HPE ProLiant Gen9/Gen10 and selected Apollo systems; verify the exact server model. Compared with 720478-B21: this model provides 800W versus 500W.

USE CASES

  • Enterprise server PSU replacement - Restores power capacity on compatible HPE systems using the platform's Flex Slot architecture, reducing the need for non-standard replacement hardware.
  • Redundant power configurations - Adds a compatible PSU to supported server configurations where dual-power operation is required, helping reduce the impact of a single PSU failure.
  • Data-center maintenance - The hot-plug design supports service-oriented PSU replacement on compatible systems, helping administrators minimize planned maintenance disruption. 
  • Server capacity upgrades - Provides up to 800W of rated output for compatible configurations where additional power capacity is required.
  • Virtualization infrastructure - Supports compatible HPE server nodes running consolidated workloads where reliable and appropriately sized power delivery is important.
  • High-density rack deployments - The Flex Slot form factor supports HPE's modular PSU architecture, simplifying standardized spare planning across supported platforms.
  • HPE server lifecycle extension - Provides an OEM-compatible replacement option for supported legacy HPE infrastructure, helping organizations maintain existing server investments.
  • Multi-server spare inventory - The broad platform support of the Flex Slot family can help data-center teams standardize compatible PSU spares where the exact server models permit it.

KEY FEATURES

  • 800W rated output - Provides substantial power capacity for supported HPE server configurations and gives infrastructure teams a defined PSU capacity when planning replacement or expansion. 
  • Flex Slot form factor - Uses HPE's modular Flex Slot PSU architecture, simplifying service and replacement procedures on compatible systems.
  • Platinum efficiency class - Delivers high power-conversion efficiency, helping reduce wasted electrical energy and associated operating costs compared with less-efficient PSU classes. HPE's QuickSpecs list efficiency values varying by input voltage, reaching 92.2% at 230V for this model. 
  • Hot-plug capability - Allows supported systems to be serviced without requiring a complete server shutdown, improving maintenance flexibility and availability. 
  • 100–240V AC input range - Supports a broad range of standard AC input voltages, giving data-center buyers greater deployment flexibility across supported electrical environments. 
  • 50–60Hz input frequency - Supports standard commercial AC frequencies used across many enterprise installations. 
  • 0.99 power factor - HPE specifies a 0.99 power factor across the listed input-voltage points, supporting efficient utilization of facility electrical capacity. 
  • OEM HPE option number 720479-B21 - Gives procurement teams an exact HPE identifier for compatibility checks, quotations, replacement planning, and asset records.
