HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 Power Supplies
Genuine HPE Flex Slot hot-plug power supplies for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11, new and refurbished. The server takes one or two Flex Slot supplies, and one rule governs every order on this page: HPE does not support mixing two different power supplies, so a second unit has to match the first exactly for 1+1 redundancy.
ML350 Gen11 Power Supply Specifications
- Format: HPE Flex Slot hot-plug supplies, a common design across ProLiant Gen11, installed tool-lessly
- Outputs listed: 500W, 800W and 1600W Platinum, 1000W Titanium, and a 1600W −48VDC unit for DC-fed racks
- Efficiency: 94% on the Platinum units and 96% on the Titanium
- Redundancy: two Flex Slot supplies give 1+1 redundancy; one is not redundant whatever its rating
- High-line requirement: the 1600W Platinum supports 200 to 240 VAC input only
- Processor limit: HPE documents the 500W unit as supporting a single 125W processor only
- Cooling: three system fans on base models and eight on performance models, giving N+1 redundancy in most situations
Two constraints decide most ML350 Gen11 power supply orders. Mixing two different supplies is not supported, so a 1+1 pair is two of the same kit; and the 1600W Platinum unit takes 200 to 240 VAC only, which rules it out of a standard North American line feed. The 500W unit carries a limit of its own — a single 125W processor.
Which Flex Slot Supply Does Your ML350 Gen11 Need?
| Output | Efficiency | Input | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500W Platinum | 94% | Standard AC | A single 125W processor — the documented limit |
| 800W Platinum | 94% | Standard AC | Mainstream one and two-processor builds |
| 1000W Titanium | 96% | Standard AC | The same, at the higher efficiency grade |
| 1600W Platinum | 94% | 200–240 VAC only | 350W processors, three drive cages and accelerators |
| 1600W −48VDC | — | −48V DC feed | Racks fed by DC rectifiers |
The 500W unit is the one to check twice: its documented support stops at a single 125W processor, and every processor kit carrying a live price here is 250W or more. HPE also documents an 1800W to 2200W Flex Slot Titanium supply for the heaviest builds — a platform option rather than one of the units listed here, and high-line only as well.
Choosing the Right ML350 Gen11 Power Supply
- Match rather than mix. Mixing two different power supplies is not supported, so the installed unit is the specification for the second.
- Check the circuit before ordering 1600W Platinum. It takes 200 to 240 VAC only, which rules out standard North American line voltage.
- Size to the build, not to the ceiling. A supply running far below its rated load sits away from its best efficiency point, and HPE publishes a Power Advisor for sizing.
- Count the fans as part of the power question. Heavy configurations call for the Redundant Fan Kit and the Second CPU Fan Kit before they call for more watts.
- −48VDC is a different world. That unit belongs in racks fed by DC rectifiers, not as an alternative to an AC supply.

ML350 Gen11 Power Supplies FAQ
Can I mix power supplies in an ML350 Gen11?
No. HPE states that mixing two different power supplies is not supported. A 1+1 redundant pair means two identical Flex Slot units.
How many power supplies does an ML350 Gen11 take?
Up to two. One is the minimum the server runs on, and selecting two Flex Slot supplies is what provides 1+1 power redundancy.
What wattage power supply does an ML350 Gen11 need?
It depends on the build. The 500W unit is documented for a single 125W processor only, the 800W and 1000W units cover mainstream configurations, and the 1600W unit is for 350W processors, three drive cages and accelerators.
Will the 1600W Platinum supply work on a standard wall circuit?
Only on a high-line feed. That unit supports 200 to 240 VAC input only, so it will not run on standard North American line voltage.
What is the minus 48VDC power supply for?
Racks fed by DC rectifiers rather than an AC supply, as found in some telecommunications environments. It is not interchangeable with the AC units.
How many fans does an ML350 Gen11 have?
Base models typically ship three standard fans and performance models eight, which gives N+1 fan redundancy in most situations. A Redundant Fan Kit and a Second CPU Fan Kit are required for heavier configurations.
