From Opteron-era units to Flex Slot supplies for EPYC generations, matched free by part number.
The DL385 line spans two distinct eras: the earlier Opteron-based models and the EPYC-based Gen10 and later machines, with a long production gap between them. Power supplies from the two eras share nothing; later Opteron-era models use the Common Slot family, while EPYC-era servers use Flex Slot units. High-core-count EPYC processors and GPU configurations push power draw hard, so many DL385 builds run 800W or higher supplies rather than the base wattage. Redundant pairs must match in wattage and efficiency rating, and hot-plug bays mean a failed unit swaps without downtime. Because the same wattage exists at several efficiency levels, order by the spare part number on the PSU handle, or send us your serial number for a free compatibility check. We stock both current and end-of-life generations.
No. The EPYC-based Gen10 and later machines use Flex Slot supplies, while the Opteron-era models use earlier families. There is no interchange between the eras, so start from your server generation, not the DL385 name.
Often the same supply family serves both platforms in the same era, but support is defined per server and generation. Confirm the specific part number against your DL385 rather than assuming, or send us the serial number and we will verify it free.
Match or exceed what HPE shipped for your configuration; dense EPYC and GPU builds typically run the higher-wattage Flex Slot units. Both supplies in a redundant pair must be identical, so plan the upgrade as a pair if you are stepping up wattage.
