HP 746708-B21 1500 Watts 48V DC PSU For ProLiant DL385 Gen7 Server

Product Description

The HP 746708-B21 is a specialized 1500-watt DC power supply unit (PSU) engineered exclusively for the HP ProLiant DL385 Gen7 server. Unlike typical AC power supplies, this unit delivers direct current (DC) power, which is directly utilized by the server's internal components. This specific DC output is crucial for the optimal and efficient operation of the DL385 Gen7's architecture, ensuring all processors, memory modules, storage devices, and network interfaces receive the correct voltage and current. With a substantial 1500-watt capacity, this PSU is designed to handle the power demands of high-performance server configurations, including those with multiple CPUs and extensive storage arrays. The unit is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be removed or replaced without shutting down the server. This feature is critical for maintaining continuous operation and high availability, especially in environments where server downtime is unacceptable. It is often used in conjunction with a second PSU to provide redundancy. In a redundant setup, if one HP 746708-B21 PSU fails, the other takes over the full load, ensuring uninterrupted service. This power supply is a key component in the reliability and uptime strategy for ProLiant DL385 Gen7 servers, providing a stable and consistent power source that supports the demanding workloads typical of enterprise data centers and critical business applications.
