2.

Prepare for installation. To avoid personal injury or product damage, review the “HP 640 RPS/EPS Safety and

Regulatory Information” on page 3.

3.

Install one or more compatible HP X331 or HP X332 power supplies into any of the slots in the 640 RPS/EPS.

Caution: 

Use a power supply that is compatible with the HP 640.

Incompatible Power Supplies are mechanically keyed to prevent accidental 
insertion into the HP 640. Forcing an incompatible Power Supply into the HP 
640 may cause permanent damage to the RPS/EPS. See “HP 640 RPS/EPS 
Product Specifications” on page 5 for the identities of the compatible power 
supplies.

When a compatible Power Supply is fully inserted, the maroon colored latch 
will “click” into position to ensure that the Power Supply is correctly secured. 
If the Power Supply is not easily pushed into the fully inserted position, re-
verify that a compatible Supply is being used, and re-attempt insertion.

HP produces a variety of Power Supplies in the form factor used in the HP 640 
RPS/EPS. Some of these Power Supplies use voltages and power levels that 
are not compatible with the HP 640. Verify that the Power Supply you have 
chosen is compatible with the HP 640.

4.

Install the 640 RPS/EPS Hardware.

Mount the 640 RPS/EPS in a rack or on a horizontal surface.

■

Rack Mounting:

Use a #1 Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver to attach the accessory kit brackets to the 640 RPS/EPS

using the eight 8-mm M4 screws. Then use the four number 12-24 screws to secure the brackets to the rack.

Note:

A rail kit is available for mounting the 640 RPS/EPS in 4-post racks and equipment cabinets by using the HP X410
