HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 Power Supplies

Genuine HPE Flex Slot power supplies for the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11, new and refurbished. The platform runs one or two hot-plug PSUs — the rear view labels power supply 1 and 2 as 1+1 redundancy, and Flex Slot modules install tool-lessly.

DL320 Gen11 Power Supply Specifications

  • Family: HPE Flex Slot hot-plug, tool-less modules on the common Gen11 electrical and physical design
  • AC options: 500W Platinum, 800W Platinum, 1000W Titanium, 1600W Platinum, and an 1800W–2200W Titanium unit
  • DC option: 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC, which requires a DC power lug kit or a DC power cable kit
  • Efficiency: HPE rates the Platinum units at 94% and the Titanium units at 96%
  • Quantity: one or two per chassis, with supplies 1 and 2 labelled as 1+1 redundancy
  • Rules: mixing power supplies is not allowed, and the 1600W Platinum unit only supports high line voltage, 200–240 VAC

Check your feed before you size the supply. The 1600W Flex Slot Platinum unit only supports high line voltage, 200–240 VAC. Mixing power supplies is not allowed either — when you add the second supply for 1+1 redundancy, match the exact part number already installed.

Two supplies is the production answer — hot-plug modules let you swap a failed unit without downtime once both bays are filled. Size the build with HPE Power Advisor, which HPE recommends running before any power supply selection. One naming quirk: Standard Features calls the largest Titanium unit 1800–2000W, while the option list names it 1800W–2200W.

Choosing the Right DL320 Gen11 Power Supply

  • Never mix wattages or models — mixing power supplies is not allowed, so match the exact part number already installed.
  • Check your feed before you size: the 1600W Platinum unit only supports high line voltage, 200 VAC to 240 VAC.
  • Mind the 500W restrictions: NVMe drives cannot be selected when a 500W supply goes into the 8SFF CTO server, and pairing 500W with the 8SFF x4 tri-mode backplane requires an internal controller and supports SAS and SATA drives only.
  • DC feeds take their own path — the 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC unit requires a DC power lug option kit or a DC power cable kit.
  • Refurbished PSUs are a low-risk buy — sealed, tested modules, and the usual way to add the second supply affordably.

DL320 Gen11 Power Supplies FAQ

What power supplies does the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen11 use?
HPE Flex Slot hot-plug modules: 500W Platinum, 800W Platinum, 1000W Titanium, 1600W Platinum, an 1800W-2200W Titanium unit, and a 1600W -48VDC unit. The server runs one or two, and they must match.

Can I mix different power supplies in the DL320 Gen11?
No. HPE states plainly that mixing power supplies is not allowed. When you add the second supply for redundancy, buy the exact part number already installed.

Does the 1600W power supply work on 110V power?
No - HPE states that the 1600W Flex Slot Platinum unit only supports high line voltage, 200 VAC to 240 VAC. On low-line power, use the 500W, 800W or 1000W options.

Can I hot-swap a failed DL320 Gen11 power supply?
Yes, provided two supplies are installed. The rear view labels power supply 1 and 2 as 1+1 redundancy, and Flex Slot modules are hot-plug and tool-less, so a failed unit is pulled and replaced without shutting down.

Why can't I select NVMe drives with a 500W power supply?
HPE's configuration rule blocks it: if a 500W power supply is selected with the 8SFF CTO server, NVMe drives cannot be selected, and vice versa. Pairing 500W with the 8SFF x4 tri-mode backplane also requires an internal controller and supports SAS and SATA drives only.

Does the DL320 Gen11 support DC power?
Yes. HPE lists a 1600W Flex Slot -48VDC hot-plug power supply kit, which requires either the 1600W DC PSU power lug option kit or the 1600W DC PSU power cable kit.
