Compatible Supermicro Chassis (Examples)
Note: Actual compatibility depends on the **power distribution board (PDB)** and exact chassis revision. Always confirm with the chassis manual or Supermicro support before deployment.
1U Rackmount Models (Redundant PSU Support)
- Supermicro Sys-1029 Series (e.g., SYS-1029TP-DTR) – 1U dual node, redundant PSU option
- Supermicro 1U Enterprise Servers with Redundant PSU Bays
- Supermicro 1U GPU Optimized Chassis (e.g., high thermal / power support variants)
- Other Supermicro 1U chassis with hot-swap PSU bays designed for high watt support
2U Rackmount Models (Redundant PSU Support)
- Supermicro 2U Enterprise Server Platforms with redundant PSU slots
- High-density 2U compute / storage chassis supporting 1800W+ PSU modules
- Supermicro multi-node Twin / FatTwin 2U platforms (if configured with compatible PSU backplane)
Compatibility Notes
- Check the Chassis PDB/Backplane: Even if the chassis is 1U/2U and has redundant PSU bays, the exact PDB must support the PWS-1K81P-1R module pin layout and power delivery.
- Always Refer to OEM Documentation: The safest practice is to search the chassis part number + power supply compatibility list in the official Supermicro chassis manual.
- Contact Vendor Support: You can send the chassis serial number to Supermicro support to get the verified list of supported PSU modules.
Application Scenarios
Suitable for:
- High-performance computing (HPC) servers
- Enterprise rack servers with redundant PSU topology
- Data centers and mission-critical infrastructure
- GPU-dense 1U / 2U systems with adequate power backplanes
Specifications are compiled from publicly available product listings and typical Supermicro PSU usage categories. Exact performance and compatibility should be verified with your system documentation or vendor support before installation.
