HPE ProLiant DL980 G7 Power Supplies
Genuine HPE 1200W Common Slot Platinum hot-plug power supplies for the HPE ProLiant DL980 G7, new and refurbished. This chassis does not work in redundant pairs like a two-socket ProLiant: it requires four supplies to operate and eight to be redundant, and all of them run on 200 to 240VAC only.
DL980 G7 Power Supply Specifications
- Format: 1200W Common Slot Platinum hot-plug supplies, rear accessible, fitted four or eight at a time depending on the model
- Minimum to run: four. With four supplies there is no power redundancy, and the level of redundancy is reported during system power on
- Full redundancy: eight supplies. The E7-4800 4P model ships eight as standard, the fifth through eighth providing the redundancy; the E7-2800 4P model ships four
- Input: 200 to 240VAC only at 50 or 60Hz, 6.6A rated input current and 1375W rated input power per supply — there is no low-line option
- Output and efficiency: 1200W rated steady-state with 1440W maximum peak per supply, at a documented 93% efficiency and 0.97 power factor
- Cords: one 6-foot high-line IEC-to-IEC cord ships with each power supply
Four supplies is the operating minimum, not a redundant configuration. HPE documents that the DL980 G7 requires four power supplies to run and eight for power redundancy, with the level of redundancy reported during system power on. A failed supply on a four-supply machine is an outage.
How many power supplies does your DL980 G7 need?
| Supplies fitted | What HPE documents | Redundancy |
|---|---|---|
| Fewer than four | Not an operating configuration — the server requires four supplies to operate | None |
| Four | The operating minimum, and how the E7-2800 4P model ships | None |
| Eight | Required for power redundancy, and how the E7-4800 4P model ships | Full, reported at power on |
The practical consequence is that a failed supply on a four-supply DL980 G7 is an outage, not a degraded state. If the machine matters enough to be an eight-socket server it wants all eight bays filled, which means eight matching supplies, eight high-line cords and a rack feed that carries a 4200W worst case at 14,330 BTU/hr. Check the level of redundancy the server reports at power on rather than counting supplies through the rear of the rack.
Choosing the Right DL980 G7 Power Supply
- High line only. These supplies are rated 200 to 240VAC, so a 120V feed will not run this server at any supply count.
- Four is the floor, not the target. Adding a fifth supply does not create redundancy either — HPE documents eight as the requirement for a redundant configuration.
- Each supply brings a cord. One 6-foot high-line IEC-to-IEC cord ships per power supply, so an eight-supply machine needs eight rack outlets, not four.
- Size the circuit from the worst case. 6.6A per supply at 200 to 240VAC, and up to 4200W for the system, is what the rack and the room have to absorb.
- Refurbished supplies suit a spares pool. Because this chassis takes four or eight identical units, a tested spare on the shelf is cheaper than discovering the count matters during a failure.

DL980 G7 Power Supplies FAQ
How many power supplies does a DL980 G7 need?
Four to operate and eight for power redundancy. HPE states that with four power supplies there is no power redundancy, and the level of redundancy is reported during system power on.
Can a DL980 G7 run on 110V power?
No. The 1200W Common Slot Platinum supplies are rated for 200 to 240VAC only, and each one ships with a 6-foot high-line IEC-to-IEC cord.
What wattage are DL980 G7 power supplies?
1200W each, rated steady-state at 200 to 240VAC, with a maximum peak of 1440W per supply.
How much power does a fully loaded DL980 G7 draw?
Up to 4200W in the worst-case configuration and utilisation, which HPE rates at 14,330 BTU/hr. Each supply draws 6.6A at 200 to 240VAC.
Are DL980 G7 power supplies hot-plug?
Yes. They are rear-accessible hot-plug Common Slot supplies, so in a redundant eight-supply configuration one can be replaced while the server runs.
How many fans does a DL980 G7 have?
Eight hot-plug redundant fans ship standard on all models.
