You can replace with any power supply of equal or greater wattage and the same voltage and ground pinouts on the plug that connects to the motherboard. <br />
<br />
It is easier, mechanically, to use the same power supply but if you are adept mechanically and electrically (and have the DVM to measure things) you can use a different unit.

I agree with the above. What I meant by &quot;mechanically adept&quot; is that you can modify the case the allow the PS to fit

Hi, <br />
I have a G6 ML 150. I think my power supply is bad based on some diagnostic information. <br />
The current power supply is 460 watt. &nbsp;My question is this. Can I just replace it with any power supply with similar wattage or do I need to specifically get the same replacement power supply? <br />
<br />
Thanks, <br />
Nacht

HP Proliant ML 150 G6 Power Supply question/needed

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
