The Inter-Tech IPC ASPOWER R2A-DV1200-N power supply delivers a total output of 1200W to server systems that require high availability and continuous operation. Its 2U format design uses two separate redundant modules that work in parallel, and if one fails, the other immediately takes over the full load. Its high energy efficiency is confirmed by the 80 PLUS Platinum certification, which translates into lower operating costs and less waste heat. An integrated 40mm fan provides active heat dissipation for the internal components.
When choosing a suitable PC power supply, the key parameter, besides the format, is the power output. This indicates the maximum number of watts the power supply can continuously provide to the computer's components. It's a good idea to use an online calculator to determine the optimal power output based on your chosen components.
The power supply meets the strict conditions of the 80 PLUS Platinum certification, with an efficiency of 94.33% at 50% load. Even at a low load of 20%, it maintains an efficiency of 90.96%. This high level of efficiency reduces energy losses from conversion into heat, which lowers the cooling demands of the server room and helps save costs in systems with continuous operation.
Redundant architecture is a fundamental element for high server availability. If one power supply module fails, the other takes over the full load without interruption. This mechanism is crucial for critical systems where any downtime is undesirable. In addition, the wide input voltage range of 100V to 240V supports its deployment in various electrical grids. It has a suite of protection mechanisms to safeguard connected components. This includes overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, overload protection, and short-circuit protection.
The power supply integrates an I²C Bus communication interface compatible with the PMBus protocol. This interface sends data on current voltage, current, and error states to the motherboard or backplane. This gives administrators a real-time overview of the power supply's status. In addition, a built-in audible and visual alarm is activated in the event of a power or fan failure.
The 80 PLUS certification was created to objectively evaluate the efficiency of computer power supplies. This gives users a simple and clear way to compare different models. In the European market (where 230V is used), there are six levels of 80 PLUS certification with set requirements for computer power supplies. Higher energy efficiency primarily means lower energy consumption.
