  • How to Choose an Energy-Saving Hot-Swap Power Distribution Unit

    How to Choose an Energy-Saving Hot-Swap Power Distribution Unit

    The following article highlights five hot-swap capable power supplies ideal for servers, network equipment, and high-uptime builds. But with Eaton's Hot-Swap Solutions, the UPS can be repaired or replaced at any time, while keeping connected mission-critical equipment powered and fully operational. Each option below is tied to real-world use cases—from server-grade deployments. SilverStone's GM1000-2UG-V2 delivers 1000W in a 2U form factor with redundant rails, designed for 24/7 operation. Features include voltage and current programming, remote on/off, remote sense, a standby supply, PMBus communication, built in ORing FET and wide operating temperature. Redundant power supplies are used in applications where the system cannot be interrupted by the failure of a single component. Even the best non-redundant power supplies that use current limiting, voltage limiting, over-temperature shutdown, and input surge/spike protection, can fail. The Universal PDU is a versatile rack power distribution unit.
