    Can you trick a dual redundant supply?

    My dual xeon case uses dual 500w redundant supplies. But being for home use it isn't critical that there be a backup supply. However, obviously the alarm goes off when one of the supplies is not present or powered up.

    Can I trick it so I can run a single supply with no alarm?

    Isn“t there an option for disablin in bios or through jumper in the motherboard ?

      Nothing in the bios, and nothing obvious in the chassis itself.

        Redundant supplies for old cases are often dirt cheap. Buy one.

        De-bark it by removing the speaker.

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

          I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

          Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
          by shamsudeen
          Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
          I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

          i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

          Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
          by CMCM
          Hello Everybody,

          Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

          Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

          The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

          The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

          The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...

          Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
          by JimBanville
          The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
          Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
          I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
          I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
