    What are these connectors on my PSU?

    So I purchased this supply for $10 at an electronics surplus place; it's brand new, never been opened, even smells new. But now I need to know how to use it. It looks more like it has two motherboard connectors, but not only that, they are also not standard, male modular connectors, they are female. WTF?

    I'm hoping someone can shed light onto what I do with these. I'm assuming one side is a motherboard connector and the other originally had a break-out cable of sorts to power all the accessories.

    p.s. I realize those screws on the side could cause a problem. I'll deal with that later or get the sort of case it belongs in... preferably a SuperMicro case or similar.

    Looks like a proprietary server/workstation unit.

      Agreed. Judging from the handles and screws, I'd say it's a hot-swap PSU.

        It looks like it is made for a tape drive. They usually have the knurled screws and the box shaped power supplies. The one I have has two of them that look similar.

          Darn it; good thing I only paid $10 for it, if it doesn't power a computer. If I could just get 3Y to send me some docs then maybe I could Jimmy it to work; I don't mind making cables.

            Your PSU must be a legacy product. It is no longer listed. You can contact them directly or indirectly: many of their employees have Linkedin pages (google: 3y power technology linkedin).

            Some Sony & Dell desktops had 18pin PSU connectors. Some servers had 18pin PSU connectors.

              I'm sure it was some sort of server, but I have no idea what. And nobody from the company contacted me back.

                Maybe time to tare it apart and trace the outputs?
