Power efficiency For ProLiant Gen8 servers, we developed HP Common Slot Platinum Plus and 750 W Common Slot -48VDC Power Supplies. These are the most efficient server power supplies in the industry. We also - HP ProLiant BL660c | Innovative technologies in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers - Page 7
-generation ProLiant servers, HP Sea of Sensors provides the data to precisely control the server fans and directly cool specific components, while not overcooling other components. This can reduce fan power consumption up to dozens of watts per server.
