HPE 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply Kit

1600W-48VDC inputFlex Slot · hot plugP17023-B21

The HPE 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply Kit (P17023-B21) is a 1600W server power supply that runs from a -48V DC power plant, for HPE servers with Flex Slot power supply bays in telecom, edge and data-centre sites with DC distribution.

It accepts -40 to -72V DC input, delivers 1600W output at up to 91.2% efficiency, and is hot-pluggable and tool-less, so a redundant unit can be replaced without shutting the server down. Flex Slot units are 25% smaller than the previous HPE Common Slot generation.

Before you order: This PSU needs a -48V DC supply and does NOT accept AC mains. The DC cable is not included: order one HPE P22173-B21 power cable kit (3.5 m) or one P36877-B21 lug kit per supply. Check your server’s QuickSpecs, or send us the model, before ordering.

What's in the Box

  • 1 × HPE 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply (spare part P18510-001)
  • Installation and safety documentation
  • DC power cable not included

What It Means in Practice

  • Used where sites run on -48V DC batteries/rectifiers (telco, edge rooms), removing the need for inverters.
  • Install two for redundancy: one unit can be swapped while the server keeps running.
  • HPE advises that all supplies in one server share the same output and efficiency rating; mixing types can limit or disable power supply features.
  • Heat output is about 6000 BTU/hr at full load — plan rack cooling accordingly.

What Will Not Work

  • It will not run from AC wall or PDU outlets — choose an AC Flex Slot PSU for that.
  • It does not fit Common Slot (older Gen9-era) PSU bays or non-HPE servers.
  • It does not work with the 800W -48VDC power cable (Q0H80A); use P22173-B21 or P36877-B21.
  • Do not mix it with AC PSUs in the same server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which servers support it?
HPE lists the Flex Slot family for ProLiant Gen10, Gen10 Plus and Gen11 and selected Apollo models, but support varies by server. Send us your server model and we will confirm from its QuickSpecs.
Do I need to buy a cable?
Yes. Order one P22173-B21 cable kit or one P36877-B21 lug kit per power supply.
Can I use one AC and one DC supply in the same server?
HPE advises against mixing different power supplies in one server.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
-48VDC supplies are a niche but essential part of telco and edge deployments; ordering the cable kit with the PSU avoids a site visit with an unusable unit. For the rest of the rack, see our rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if your HPE Flex Slot server runs from a -48V DC plant and you need a primary or redundant 1600W supply.
✕ Skip it if your site uses AC power — choose an HPE Flex Slot AC power supply instead.
→ Also consider HPE P22173-B21 1600W -48VDC power cable kit (one per supply).
Not sure it fits your setup? Send us the model of your rack, switch or device and we will check compatibility before you order.
