Supermicro PWS-1K23A-1R 1200 Watts Redundant Power Supply For Server

Product Description

The Supermicro PWS-1K23A-1R is a high-performance, 1200-watt redundant power supply unit (PSU) designed to provide robust and reliable power for Supermicro server chassis. The 'redundant' designation indicates that it is typically part of a 1+1 configuration, where two power supplies operate in parallel, and if one fails, the other seamlessly takes over the entire load. This feature is critical for ensuring maximum uptime and preventing data loss or service interruptions in mission-critical server environments. With a substantial 1200W output, this PSU is capable of powering high-density server configurations, including systems with multiple processors, extensive memory arrays, numerous hard drives or SSDs, and multiple expansion cards. It is designed to support a wide range of AC input voltages, typically from 100V to 240V, making it suitable for global deployment. The unit likely features a high efficiency rating, such as Platinum or Gold, which means it converts AC power to DC power with minimal energy loss, leading to reduced heat generation and lower electricity costs. The PWS-1K23A-1R is built for hot-swappability, allowing administrators to remove and replace a power supply unit without shutting down the server. This is a standard feature in enterprise-grade server hardware that prioritizes continuous operation. As a Supermicro component, it is engineered for compatibility and optimal performance within Supermicro's server ecosystem, ensuring the stability and longevity required for demanding data center workloads.
