HPE ProLiant DL380 G5 Power Supplies

Genuine HPE hot-plug power supplies for the HPE ProLiant DL380 G5, new and refurbished. One fact shapes every order on this page: this supply's rated output depends on the voltage you feed it — 800W on a 100V feed, 850W at 120V, and 1000W on a 200 to 240V feed, from identical hardware.

DL380 G5 Power Supply Specifications

  • Standard: one 800W CE Mark compliant hot-plug power supply, with a second supply as the redundancy option and included on Performance models
  • Rated output per supply: 800W at 100VAC, 850W at 120VAC and 1000W at 200 to 240VAC
  • Input: an operational range of 90 to 264 Vrms at 47 to 63Hz, with rated line voltages of 100 to 132 VAC and 200 to 240 VAC
  • Efficiency: 81.5% at 100VAC, rising through 84% at 208VAC to 85.5% at 240VAC
  • DC option: a −48V DC redundant supply kit rated at 1210W across a −36.0 to −72.0V DC input and 87.6% efficient at 48V — HPE does not offer factory integration for it
  • Shared part: the AC redundant kit is the same part for the ML350 G5, ML370 G5 and DL380 G5, which is why its name carries all three
  • Cooling: fully redundant hot-plug fans ship as standard in an N+1 arrangement, separately from the power supplies

The same supply is rated 800W or 1000W depending on what you plug it into. It delivers 800W on a 100V feed, 850W at 120V and 1000W at 200 to 240V, at 81.5% efficiency rising to 85.5%. On a fully loaded G5 the rack feed, not the part number, is what decides whether the supply has headroom left.

What does one supply actually deliver?

Input voltageRated outputEfficiencyRated input
100 VAC800W81.5%980W
120 VAC850W82%1035W
200 to 240 VAC1000W84% to 85.5%1169W to 1193W

A high-line feed is worth 200W of headroom and roughly four points of efficiency over a domestic-voltage one, with no change of hardware. That matters on a fully loaded G5 — two 120W processors, eight drives and a cache-backed controller — because the rack feed, not the part number, is what decides whether the supply has anything left in hand.

Choosing the Right DL380 G5 Power Supply

  • Redundancy means two supplies, and most models shipped with one. Only Performance models included the second unit, so on any other build the redundant kit is the part that makes the pair.
  • The AC kit is shared with two ML towers. A supply listed for the ML350 G5 or ML370 G5 is the same part, which widens what is available when stock is thin.
  • −48V DC is a different installation, not a cheaper option. It belongs in racks fed by DC rectifiers and cannot be swapped in on an AC feed.
  • Do not diagnose fan noise as a power supply fault. The fans are a separate N+1 hot-plug assembly on this chassis, and they are the usual source of a sudden change in noise.
  • Refurbished supplies suit this platform. A hot-plug supply is a self-contained, tool-lessly replaced unit, so a tested refurbished one carries little of the risk that a board-level part would.

Power draw follows the processors and the drive count, so size against the DL380 G5 processors and hard drives you actually have fitted. Also available: DL380 G5 memory, storage controllers and networking adapters, or the full DL380 G5 parts listing. The same supply serves the HPE ProLiant ML370 G5 and ML350 G5.

DL380 G5 Power Supplies FAQ

What wattage is the DL380 G5 power supply?
800W is the headline rating, but the real figure follows the input voltage: 800W at 100VAC, 850W at 120VAC and 1000W on a 200 to 240VAC feed.

Is the DL380 G5 power supply redundant as standard?
Not on most models. One hot-plug supply ships as standard and redundancy is an option, with the second supply included only on Performance models.

Are DL380 G5 power supplies hot-plug?
Yes. Both bays take hot-plug supplies, so in a redundant pair one can be replaced while the server keeps running.

Will an ML370 G5 power supply fit a DL380 G5?
Yes. HPE lists one redundant power supply kit covering the ML350 G5, ML370 G5 and DL380 G5, which is why the part name carries all three model numbers.

What is the minus 48V DC power supply for?
Racks fed by DC rectifiers rather than an AC supply, as found in telecommunications environments. It is rated at 1210W across a minus 36 to minus 72V DC input, and HPE does not offer it as a factory integrated option.

How many fans does a DL380 G5 have and are they redundant?
The chassis ships with fully redundant hot-plug fans in an N+1 arrangement as standard. They are separate from the power supplies, so a fan fault is not a power supply fault.
