HPE 1200 W Common Slot Platinum Plus Hot Plug PSU Kit (656364-B21)
Exact module identity: HPE 656364-B21. This record applies only to this manufacturer option/PID; nominal wattage or a similar shell does not prove cross-model compatibility.
HIGH-VOLTAGE WARNING: Disconnect mains before external inspection. Never open a PSU. Internal capacitors may retain lethal charge after unplugging. Do not probe or repair its interior; use qualified service or replace the unit.
Model-specific ratings & fit
| Manufacturer identity / exact module | HPE 656364-B21 — HPE 1200 W Common Slot Platinum Plus Hot Plug PSU Kit (656364-B21) |
|---|---|
| Rated output / rail information | 1200 W class (observe line/input derating in system QuickSpecs); +12 VDC main rail (1200 W class); standby output and continuous rail limits are as specified on the exact module label. |
| AC input | 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; maximum output may be limited at low-line. Verify the module label and host power table. |
| Efficiency | 80 PLUS Platinum Plus class; exact efficiency varies with load and input |
| Form factor / mounting | HPE Common Slot hot-plug module; mechanically distinct from Flex Slot and M-CRPS. |
| Connectors / backplane | IEC AC inlet; proprietary HPE Common Slot blind-mate connector to the server power backplane. |
| System compatibility | Select HPE ProLiant Common Slot systems whose system QuickSpecs list option 656364-B21; do not infer fit in Gen9 Flex Slot or Gen12 M-CRPS bays. |
| Redundancy / cooling | Hot-plug and redundancy are supported only where the server validates matching Common Slot units and has adequate remaining capacity. Airflow is chassis-specific. |
| Revision distinctions | Confirm exact 656364-B21 kit, input derating and efficiency grade. Do not mix with a different model to create a redundant pair unless the system guide explicitly allows it. |
Compatibility & safe installation
- Confirm full manufacturer part/PID, revision and label against the host’s exact system QuickSpecs, service manual and power-supply matrix.
- Check input voltage, rail limits, connector/backplane keying, bay dimensions, supported efficiency class and cooling direction before installation.
- Hot-plug is conditional: verify healthy remaining supply capacity, supported redundancy state and the host service procedure before removing a live module.
- Do not mix modules or use modular leads across models unless the system manufacturer explicitly approves that combination.
- Never open or probe a PSU. Retire damaged, wet, burnt, corroded, modified or unidentified units.
Revision & archival notes
Confirm exact 656364-B21 kit, input derating and efficiency grade. Do not mix with a different model to create a redundant pair unless the system guide explicitly allows it.
Archive a clear nameplate photograph, complete option/FRU number, hardware revision, AC inlet and connector labels, host model, and source-document revision. Distinguish manufacturer ratings from derived values.
