HP CS917A 450-Watt Power Supply For StorageWorks Server

Product Description

The HP CS917A is a 450-watt internal power supply unit (PSU) engineered to meet the demanding power requirements of HP StorageWorks server platforms. This PSU is a critical component responsible for converting AC mains power into the various DC voltages required by the server's motherboard, storage controllers, hard drives, and other internal components. Its 450-watt rating provides ample power for typical configurations of these storage-focused servers. Designed specifically for the StorageWorks line, this power supply ensures compatibility with the chassis, backplane, and power distribution systems of the intended HP servers. It likely features a universal AC input range (100-240V), allowing it to be deployed in data centers around the world. Server-grade PSUs like the CS917A are built for continuous operation and high reliability, often incorporating features such as over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection to safeguard the server's sensitive electronics. While the title specifies 450 watts, some HP StorageWorks servers may utilize redundant power supplies for enhanced uptime. If this PSU is part of a redundant configuration, two units would be installed, providing failover capability. Users should consult their specific HP StorageWorks server documentation to confirm the exact power requirements and whether this PSU is suitable as a primary, secondary, or standalone power source. The CS917A is essential for the stable and continuous operation of HP's data storage solutions.
