It should work, it's probably this PSU: http://amzn.to/1Jo8XWHThe only thing to be careful about with server PSU's is that some only run 240v, but according to the Amazon page it's 100-240v, so you'll be fine at household 110v. One nice thing is most of the server PSU's are at least Platinum performing, and at 50% you'll be in the sweet spot of efficiency. The price seems about right - most of these older server PSU's are about $25-$35 (except the really big ones), and the breakouts are around $30-$50, so toss in free shipping plus the PCIe cables and it looks like the right prce. That cord you linked to will work fine also - the plug is called a C13 FWIW... I personally like server PSU's, they're the best bang for the buck - although be warned that some can run loud and some can run hot. Those small 40mm fans are definitely going to be on the louder side, but if they're temp controlled, at 590w you aren't really pushing the PSU. |

Also, do you mind explaining how you turn these PSUs on and off with the "jumper?" |

What circuit are you planning to use with it? 120, 220, 240? The cable picture is pretty good, and it appears to be something I would use in a typical 120 vac situation. Like a microwave oven or a lamp. Regular ol wall outlet in the US. Yours is HP well, I guessed, that this is your PSU, but you do your own checking ratings. Although I am sure you will get many people who know that model well. Many of the larger server PSUs require 208, split phase, 220, 240, etc Pretty much anything but 120. I have seen the 800 and under use 120. I didn't see where it said one way or the other. Also, here is a fantastic reference to help in cable selection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#North_American_and_IEC_60906-2Otherwise 1000 watts will definitely push an S5. I think the spec is 600. I haven't looked back since I started using server PSU. I must have also been given a good power supply luck blessing because I haven't fried one. I do not have your specific model, the one you are evaluating, but in general using a server PSU and b/o board is the way to go. Personally, I have always subscribed to buy larger power supplies but there is certainly a case to be made for the ATX model. I would say if it is a home living room or office situation where you may have people seeing and / or hearing the unit then you want something a little cleaner than the cold gray server PSU steel or aluminum. Otherwise compare what else you get for the same money. |

"The NEMA 5-15 plug has two flat parallel blades like NEMA 1-15, but also adds a ground (earth) pin.[68] It is rated 15 A at 125 volts. The ground (earth) pin is longer than the line and neutral blades, so the device is grounded before the power is connected. Both current-carrying blades on grounding plugs are normally narrow, since the ground (earth) pin enforces polarity. NEMA 1-15 plugs are also compatible with NEMA 5-15 sockets.
The 5-15 socket is standard in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Panama. It is also used in Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and, as a legacy, parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia. This socket is recommended in IEC standard 60906-2 for 120 volt 60 Hz installations. Looking directly at a NEMA 5-15 socket in the commonly found orientation of ground (earth) at the bottom, the neutral slot is on the left, and the line slot is on the right. However, in the US the National Electrical Installation Standards (NECA 130-2010)[69] specifies that the ground hole should be on top. Sideways installation is also permitted; in this case, NECA 130-2010 specifies the neutral (long) slot is on top.
In 46 of the 50 United States[70] and all of Canada, tamper-resistant sockets are now required in new residential construction. These prevent contact by objects like keys or paper clips inserted into the socket.[71]
In stage lighting, this connector is sometimes known as PBG for Parallel Blade with Ground (earth), Edison or Hubbell, the name of a common manufacturer."

What is your supply voltage?
Package include: • 1x HP ProLiant 1000W proprietary hot-swap power supply. • 1x X-ADAPTER Power Supply Adapter PCB Board. • 4x 2 wire 6pin 26in 14 AWG Power Supply Cable. |

I wouldn't worry about it - this is what a jumper is for your reference: http://www.jacarem.co.uk/images/cables/mini-jumper-links.jpgYou could just wire up your own switch if you were so inclined - but if you're lazy, you can just use the good 'ol pull the plug out of the wall to power it down. |

I sell PSU for S5 (and S3) in marketplace-link is in my signature below-way cheaper. Why do you need 1000W PSU for S5 which consumes only 590w? |

ive been buying these for all my miner . http://holybitcoin.com/product/hp-1200-watt-common-slot-psu-bundle/ I love those break out boards plug and play. no screws to worry about or wires coming lose etc . http://www.ebay.com/itm/151798626307?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITI Buy the break out boards from holybits and then hit ebay for the PSU that work with those board and may pay about the same but the PSU's on EBay are new and come with a year warranty and so far all the ones i bought on ebay are new or seem to be when i get them . This is a cheaper, way cheaper version of a ATX Psu of the same watts etc. they seem to work as well as a gold standard ATX 900 watt PSU can't say yet on the 1200 watt part til next month when i finally have my 240 lines installed the right way and a new 40 slot box is put in my house. I have two PDA's and the right plugs waiting . IL be able to power two miner per PSU for a while one S5 with one S 3, safely. S3 still seem to have a use or will til my power cost goes up in years times or the DIff goes to high to make them worse less . |

That will certainly power the S5 just fine - I use that with many of mine:  But in terms of performance, the one you originally found is much better - the CX750M is bronze rated and the one you originally linked to is platinum. In real numbers the CX750M will be running at about 83% efficiency (at 78% of max load) and the HP will be running at 92% (at 50% of max load) - so you're talking about almost 10% greater efficiency, that's well worth paying a couple bucks more for. As someone else pointed out, you can also just buy the parts individual and piece them together, but TBH I don't think it's really worth the couple bucks you'd save. |

The only reason I prefer this style is that it's what I'm used to. I don't want to brick my miner messing with these new PSUs I've never dealt with before. |

You will not "brick" a miner using a properly set up server PSU, you will only save money and likely get better longevity out of it. The only downfalls to server PSU's with breakout boards are:
A) Noise - Some of them have very loud fans for cooling in a rack application
B) Exposed contacts - Most breakout boards have some degree of exposed contacts which if not managed properly could pose a hazard. Others have screw-in clamps to hold stripped PCIe leads in place, which can come loose and cause arcing.
You still have not answered sloopy's question, what voltage are you working with at the outlet (what are you plugging the PSU into for AC voltage)?
