Delta DPS-100TB-3 A (100w)

[ddscentral]

I've got an old Delta PSU (Datecode: 9626, probably 1996 ?)
Model DPS-100TB-3 A (100W) in a very long metal case. Don't know if it even works, I've connected it to the mains, but don't know how to turn it on.
There's no swith on it. It has one long 13pin connector (one pin not connected to anything) and one 6 pin connector and two standard 4 pin Molex connectors.
The caps inside are mostly Rubycon and some (?) UCC.
I've got a pic of the psu case (sorry for bad quality).

What form factor is this Delta psu ? Is this PSU any good ?

Re: Delta DPS-100TB-3 A (100w)

it should have a green wire (in that 6-pin connector) that you need to connect to ground.
the label probably says it anyway. look for PS-ON.

i use a similar one (a 135W FSP unit) as a bench power supply. it's pretty stable and very useful.

A quick googling gave up that it's a power supply used in the HP Vectra - found this page as well with the (possible) pinout for the psu: http://pinouts.ru/Power/hp_vectravl5_power_pinout.shtml

there's no green wire in that 6 pin connector.
will try shorting white wire to black to see if it works.

Re: Delta DPS-100TB-3 A (100w)

That pinout was correct, it works with white wire shorted to the black one, connected 2 old hdds for load and checked with a dmm. 12v rail is a bit low at 11.6-11.7V and 5v is 5.3v, but it should be ok.
Well at least I know it is working. Because I was thinking to use a 8 year old L&C 250W AT psu. The L&C is probably going to the trashcan.

Another interesting find: I've found the mobo the psu was made for: HP Vectra. It's a socket 7 mobo with a lot of SIMM slots and s3 Trio64 onboard video and an addon card which has some ISA and pci slots. The power connections match the cables on the psu: one 4 pin and one 13pin with one pin removed. The mobo has a HP logo on it. But that mobo is too old to be of any use to me so I'm probably throwing it to the trashcan.
