SYNOLOGY – REDUNDANT POWER MODULE 500W – PSU-500W-RP-MODULE_2

Ensuring Uninterrupted System Availability

The Synology PSU 500W-RP Module_2 is a dedicated redundant power module engineered to deliver a robust 500W of electrical power to a wide array of Synology enterprise systems. In mission-critical IT environments—such as corporate data centers, high-demand office networks, and intensive content creation studios—system downtime is simply not an option. By integrating a redundant power supply, your network-attached storage or storage area network architecture benefits from immediate failover protection. Should the primary power module experience an unexpected hardware failure or localized power disruption, this secondary 500W module instantly takes over the electrical load, ensuring that your storage arrays remain online, data remains fully accessible, and active file transfers are completely unhindered.

Compact Design and Seamless Form Factor Integration

Despite its impressive 500-watt power delivery, the Synology PSU 500W-RP Module_2 maintains a highly efficient and compact form factor. Measuring exactly 21.5 cm in length, 8.1 cm in width, and 4.0 cm in height, the unit is precisely designed to slide seamlessly into the power bays of compatible Synology rackmount servers and expansion enclosures. Furthermore, weighing only 0.77 kg, it adds minimal weight to your server rack, ensuring that rack load limits and physical deployment logistics remain easily manageable for IT technicians. This precise engineering guarantees optimal airflow and minimal thermal interference within the host chassis.

Extensive Compatibility for Enterprise Deployments

This 500W redundant power module is designed for vast interoperability across Synology’s highest-performing product lines, including the FlashStation (FS), SA series, Unified Controller (UC), RackStation (RS), and high-capacity expansion units (RX and FX). Specifically, the applied models list includes the FS3600, FS3400, and FS2017 for all-flash setups; the SA3610, SA3600, SA3410, SA3400D, SA3400, and SA3200D for highly scalable enterprise storage; and the UC3400 and UC3200 for active-active SAN architecture. It also fully supports critical RackStation systems such as the RS18017xs+, RS18016xs+, RS3621xs+, RS3621RPxs, RS3617xs+, RS3617RPxs, RS2818RP+, RS2418RP+, and RS2416RP+. For businesses utilizing expansion units to grow their storage footprint, the module perfectly supports the FX2421, RX1222sas, RXD1219sas, RX2417sas, RX1217sas, RX1217RP, RX1216sas, and RXD1215sas enclosures.

Crucial System Requirements and Implementation Notes

While the Synology PSU 500W-RP Module_2 boasts extensive compatibility, system administrators must verify specific hardware serial numbers prior to deployment for select models. The module is strictly compatible with the RS3621RPxs only if the 5th to 7th digits of the unit’s serial number are “SYR”. Similarly, integration with the RS3621xs+ is strictly limited to systems where the 5th to 7th digits of the serial number read “SZR”. Synology advises all users to refer to the official Product Change Notification documentation to verify exact hardware revisions and ensure full electrical compatibility before installation. Following these stringent guidelines guarantees stable power delivery and prevents potential hardware mismatches in professional IT environments.

Official Support and Identification

To ensure long-term reliability and peace of mind, the PSU 500W-RP Module_2 is backed by an official warranty provided by Synology, allowing businesses to deploy this critical redundancy hardware with absolute confidence. The module is universally identifiable globally via its EAN (4711174729180) and UPC (846504009183) codes. By implementing this module, organizations successfully secure their data infrastructure against localized power faults and confidently maintain the strict uptime requirements mandated by modern digital workflows.
