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 moduleHPE 656363-B21 — HPE 750 W Common Slot Platinum Plus Hot Plug PSU Kit (656363-B21)
Rated output / rail information750 W; +12 VDC main rail (750 W class); standby output and continuous rail limits are as specified on the exact module label.
AC input100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; rated output and line derating are nameplate/system dependent.
Efficiency80 PLUS Platinum Plus class; exact efficiency varies with load and input
Form factor / mountingHPE Common Slot hot-plug module; mechanically distinct from Flex Slot and M-CRPS.
Connectors / backplaneIEC AC inlet; proprietary HPE Common Slot blind-mate connector to the server power backplane.
System compatibilitySelect HPE ProLiant Common Slot Gen8 platforms whose system QuickSpecs list option 656363-B21; a Common Slot name does not establish fit in Flex Slot/M-CRPS bays.
Redundancy / coolingHot-plug and 1+1 redundancy require the host to support paired Common Slot modules and retain sufficient capacity; chassis-specific airflow.
Revision distinctionsConfirm exact 656363-B21 kit and PSU label. Different Common Slot wattage/efficiency models may be disallowed as a redundant pair; follow the host service manual.

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 656363-B21 kit and PSU label. Different Common Slot wattage/efficiency models may be disallowed as a redundant pair; follow the host service manual.

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.
