That power supply in picture is not Bitmain APW3.

This is BITMAIN APW3-12-1600 --> see this official thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060439.0

Bitmain APW3-12-1600 is suitable to use with Antminer S7, S9, R4 and T9 (any model) if your voltage is 208 V or higher.

I have no knowledge about that PSU and you have not given any real info about the power supply, so sorry, I can't help you out.
It is best to use a reliable server power supply or Bitmain's power supply or reliable ATX power supply (EVGA for example).

I have no opinion if that PSU is reliable or not.
If it is able to provide output power as advertised and has 10x PCI-E power connectors (at least 18AWG wire, preferably 16AWG wire) , then you can use it.

This is the power supply it has 10 cable connections I used for Antminer S7.

Please check the pictures.

There's zero information I've been able to find about this PSU, use it at your own risk. It's probably lasted you quite a while so it is probably reliable, but there's not much info on it and it could break at any moment. For one, 90 plus gold is not a real thing. Probably not even that efficient.

can not find a listing on their website.

notice they use 80 plus not 90 plus.  My guess is you have a bootleg psu.

be careful with it.

Where are you located?  I have customers successfully powering 2x T9's on IBM 2980W Platinum PSU's.

If the PSU worked for an S7 it will work on your T9. The power draw between the units is very close and should cause no issues.
