P25430-001 HPE 10200-277VAC Platinum Hot Plug 3000W Power Supply

P25430-001 HPE 3000W Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply

The P25430-001 HPE 3000W 200–277VAC Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply is a high-capacity server power module engineered for enterprise-grade compute platforms. Designed to deliver up to 3000 watts of continuous output with Platinum-class efficiency, this unit targets dense servers, compute clusters, and accelerated systems (for example HPE Apollo and similar high-density enclosures) where sustained, efficient, and reliable DC power is essential. The P25430-001 is frequently offered under HPE option/kit numbers such as P24681-B21 and appears in HPE performance power supply families intended for Gen10+ server generations.

Core features and technical selling points

At the heart of this product category is the capability to accept an AC input range of 200–277VAC — commonly available in server rooms and facilities with 3-phase or high-voltage single-phase distribution — and convert that to the regulated DC rails required by servers. The rated continuous output is 3000W, making it suitable for platforms that contain multiple CPUs, high core counts, or multiple GPUs. These specs are standardized on HPE documentation for the 3000W performance power supply family.

Hot-plug (hot-swap) capability & redundancy

The hot-plug (hot-swap) design means the P25430-001 can be removed and replaced while the system remains online, provided the server or enclosure supports redundant supplies. This is a key characteristic for enterprise-class modules where serviceability and minimal downtime are required. In redundant configurations, multiple P25430-001 units share the load and protect the platform from a single-point power failure.

Detailed technical specifications (quick reference)

The following compact technical summary lists the essential specifications most buyers and technicians will check quickly when evaluating replacement or spare power modules in this family. These values mirror HPE’s published product data and authorized reseller details for the HPE 3000W Platinum power supply family. When specifying replacements or spares, always cross-check the exact part numbers printed on the unit and the server’s compatibility lists.

Compatibility and platforms

The P25430-001 is most commonly listed for HPE Apollo platforms (for example Apollo 2000 Gen10 Plus and Apollo 6500 Gen10 Plus family members) and other high-density enclosures that accept HPE performance power modules. Check the server or chassis Quick Specs to confirm fitment and firmware compatibility. Third-party resellers and also list the P25430-001 as a compatible power module for specific HPE part replacements (often cross-referenced to other HPE spare numbers.

Power output and input range

Many HPE enclosures present power supply telemetry through Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), chassis management controllers, or system event logs. After installing a replacement P25430-001, confirm the management console reports the correct presence, health, and power metrics to ensure there are no firmware mismatches or transient faults.

Buying guide

When purchasing replacement modules in this category you will typically encounter three supply paths: new OEM units sold by HPE or authorized distributors, certified refurbished modules sold by reputable resellers, and third-party generic modules. Each path has trade-offs:

New OEM units

Purchasing directly from HPE or an authorized reseller ensures new-condition units, full warranty coverage, and guaranteed compatibility. OEM units are generally more expensive but are the safest choice for mission-critical environments. HPE often lists the part and option numbers explicitly in their store and Quick Specs.

Certified refurbished

Certified refurbished P25430-001 units can save a significant percentage of purchase cost and are often tested to the same electrical and mechanical standards. When buying refurbished, verify that the seller offers a warranty, details about the testing performed, and documented return options. Reputable will also test firmware compatibility.

Performance scenarios and deployment examples

High-density GPU servers

In GPU-dense servers, power budgets can easily exceed 2–2.5kW per node under full load. A 3000W power supply provides headroom for multiple GPUs and heavy CPU utilization while retaining redundancy if multiple supplies are present. The efficiency advantages reduce waste heat generated per watt of compute — an important factor in cooling-constrained racks.

HPC and AI training clusters

HPC and AI clusters that aggregate dozens of compute nodes benefit from standardized, high-capacity power modules like the P25430-001 because they simplify provisioning and spare stock management. Using a consistent 3kW module across nodes helps streamline maintenance and spare inventory strategies.

Edge compute and telco sites

For telco and edge compute sites with 200–277VAC distribution, the P25430-001's input voltage range aligns with common site wiring. Its hot-plug serviceability minimizes field service time and reduces the chance of prolonged outages in remote locations.

Environmental, safety and compliance considerations

Power supply modules in this category are designed to meet industry safety standards and energy efficiency directives. Always confirm the unit you purchase carries the required regulatory markings for your region (for example CE, UL, or other local approvals), and verify recycling and disposal requirements for end-of-life units. HPE data sheets and product pages contain compliance details and environmental guidance.

Temperature and airflow

High-capacity modules produce significant waste heat even at >90% efficiency. Ensure rack airflow and cooling capacity are sized to maintain ambient temperatures within the chassis’s allowable operating range. Insufficient cooling can reduce life expectancy and may trigger thermal throttling or system shutdowns.

Indicator lights and management logs

Use the system management interface (iLO or chassis management) to view event logs and detailed telemetry. Many issues that appear hardware-level can be diagnosed quickly via logs that indicate over-current, under-voltage, or thermal events tied to the power module.

P25430-001 compatible with my ProLiant server

Compatibility depends on the exact chassis and generation. While P25430-001 is targeted at Apollo and other performance enclosures, ProLiant compatibility should be confirmed via the server’s Quick Specs or HPE support resources. If your server requires a different connector or a different voltage range, it will be listed in the Quick Specs.

Maintenance and lifecycle recommendations

Regular inspection and cleaning of power supply bays, filters, and chassis fans will prolong module life. Maintain spare inventory for rapid replacement — in many enterprise deployments, keeping at least one spare per rack or per two racks is common practice depending on SLAs. Also track firmware updates and HPE advisories that affect power management behaviors.

End-of-life and recycling

When retiring power modules, follow local regulations for electronic waste. Many OEMs and large resellers offer trade-in or recycling programs that ensure environmentally compliant disposal. Document the serial numbers and certificate of disposal when removing units from service for audit compliance. The P25430-001 HPE 3000W 200–277VAC Platinum Hot Plug family represents a practical blend of high power capacity and energy efficiency for modern enterprise and HPC workloads. Selecting the right option and managing lifecycle and spares effectively will reduce downtime and operating expense across dense compute infrastructure.
