Supermicro PWS-920P-SQ Power supply Module for switch

Description

The Supermicro PWS-920P-SQ is a high-efficiency, 920-watt redundant power supply module designed for 1U server and storage chassis. Known for its “Super Quiet” (SQ) operation, it is a preferred choice for corporate environments and home labs where noise reduction is critical without sacrificing enterprise-grade reliability.

Key Features and Performance

• 80 PLUS Platinum Efficiency: Certified to deliver up to 94% efficiency, significantly reducing energy waste and heat generation.

   

• Super Quiet (SQ) Design: Engineered with advanced fan speed control and acoustic dampening to operate at much lower noise levels than standard server power supplies.

   

• Hot-Swappable Redundancy: Supports $N+1$ redundancy, allowing you to replace a faulty module while the system is running to ensure zero downtime.

   

• Remote Management: Fully supports PMBus 1.2, enabling administrators to monitor power consumption, temperature, and status remotely via the server’s BMC/IPMI.

   

• Comprehensive Protection: Includes built-in circuitry to protect against over-voltage, over-current, and short circuits.

   

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

The PWS-920P-SQ is a standard 1U form factor module compatible with a wide range of Supermicro chassis. It is often used as a quiet upgrade for the noisier PWS-920P-1R or PWS-721P-1R modules.

• Chassis Series: CSE-216, CSE-826, CSE-847, and many other 1U/2U/3U/4U models that use a 19-pair Gold Finger backplane.

   

• Validated Systems: Supports various SuperServer and SuperStorage nodes including the 2U Twin and FatTwin series.
