Facility DC power connection
Facility DC power requires a Facility DC Power Connection Option Kit to distribute the current through
the mini or scalable bus bars to the server blade enclosures. The HP BladeSystem p-Class system
requires –48 VDC with no more than
±
10% voltage variance. If using facility DC power, power
supplies and power enclosures are not needed for operation, because the DC Power Connection
Option Kit provides power through a direct connection to the bus bars.
Power phases and 3U power supply enclosures
The HP BladeSystem p-Class solution is designed for AC input power from either single-phase or
three-phase power sources. Three-phase power supports maximum density configurations and is
highly recommended.
Geography and number of AC phases dictate the appropriate model of 3U power enclosure for the
data center. Each model of 3U power enclosure uses a different connector, as detailed in the
following chart. Additionally, each 3U power enclosure requires two separate 30 A power feeds.
