    Server PSUs - Standard Pinout?

    It just occurred to me that server PSUs may have a standard pinout.
    Case in point:
    Emacs R2W-6500P-R 500W Power Supply (Y4)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/261294755464...84.m1438.l2649

    There seems to be a 48-pin connector on the back of the unit. This one does 3v-5v-12v so could work in a desktop if you cobbled together a connector. There is a label showing the output voltages in the listing.

    Anyone have any idea about the pinout? Feel free to criticize this if it's a dumb idea!

      Re: Server PSUs - Standard Pinout?

      i have done that before, with an hp power supply (different connector) and it powered a C2D fine until the 2000 watt (no thats not a typo) PSU cooked the VRM for the CPU

      anyway server PSUs don't have a standard connector see HP's conector http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-393527-00...item4aca28a756

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          Um, how does a 2000W PSU cook the VRM? The VRM will only draw as much current as is required, that's how current and power works. Unless the VRM had a fault.

                  So, it was already bad? If anything, a higher current PSU will be better. It will maintain a stable output with less ripple, reducing the stress on the VRM.

                      it might have to replace the ailing 250watt on my main rig then...

                          Troubleshooting of redundant F750E-S0 Dell PowerEdge Server
                          by omega
                          Hello all,
                          as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.

                          Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to...

                          What do you repurpose server PSUs for?
                          by japlytic
                          So far, I have repurposed server PSUs (all hot swap) for the following:
                          • Portable multi-purpose test set with dual channel variable PSU
                          • Variable frequency/voltage electrically isolated pure sinewave AC inverter
                          • Low noise quad channel 0-600V DC PSU using UPS transformers with an inverter based on a trailing edge dimmer


                          If you have repurposed at least one server PSU, please let me know what your application is.

                          Why hot swap server PSUs are derated for lower line voltages
                          by japlytic
                          I compared two 1200W units (both with active PFC) around the same manufacturing time, an ATX unit and a compact hot swap server unit: the ATX unit had 780uF input DC filtering capacitance compared to 390uF for the server unit, and the server unit had smaller PFC components (and heatsinks) for its size.
                          Also, the ATX unit was rated at 1200W output under full line voltage range, but the server unit (full rating at 200-240V line input) was derated to 900W at 110-120V input and 800W at 100-110V input.

                          Typically (in my belief) in a 100-120V region, server rooms have 220-240V mains...
