Server Power Supplies

To pick the right power supply for your server you need to find out your server’s power requirements and the power supply unit's output capacity. The PSU's efficiency rating may also be a relevant factor, with higher efficiency ratings offering energy savings and reduced operating costs over the long term. Consult the server specifications listed by the manufacturer as these often list the specific power supply part number(s) you need. In most cases, you shouldn't mix and match brands so, if you have an HPE server for example, you will need to purchase an HPE server power supply to ensure compatibility. If you’re unsure or need some advice, our sales team are happy to assist with product selection.

If your server supports it, investing in a redundant power supply is a good idea as it provides a backup power source in case the primary power supply fails. A redundant power supply is designed to ensure that the server can continue to operate even if one of the power supplies fails, reducing the risk of downtime and hardware failure. This is particularly important for businesses and organisations that rely on their servers for critical applications, as any downtime can result in lost revenue and reduced productivity.
