Server Power Supply Interface Board - for standalone miners and GPU rigs

Does anyone know why a Dell AHF-2DC-2100W may not have the same pinouts as other Dell power supplies?

It looks the same and is from PowerEdge 1855 1955. but when I short the relevant pins it doesn't power up.

This is the one I am talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-PowerEdge-Supply-AHF-2DC-2100W-0HY334/dp/B00686HOT0

They are rated at 2100w and have a 175a 12v rail!

all the info you need. (yes you could run this off a 10 socket as long as you don't exceed the amperage).

This is what will run 2 x s1's (maybe soon to be s3's) and a 30gh/s bfl single. overkill yes but that means the psu will be nice and cool and efficient.

Are these available in the UK

[sidehack]

Um, sure? I can ship internationally if you can pay for it.

This in an old thread but I thought I'd say that the backpane plug is available through digikey

part #: WM8608-ND   Price: 8.300

made by Molex

Cheers,

Very close but that is not an exact match.  There are many connectors that are very close, you need to check all the dimensions.

How much interest is there in DPS-800GBA and DPS-1200FBA PSU interface boards? We've got a working prototype for a single board that works with either PSU, but we need to be sure there's enough interest to merit building it. Expected per-board retail probably around $35 plus shipping.

We'll probably be adding a 5VDC line to it, with a USB plug for powering Pis and such, but that feature might not be in the base price.

I am getting into the SP20 so something around 1500 watts would be interesting to me. I am running a SP20 and a small box on the 2000watt IBM BC PSUs now... but I'd really like a PSU more closely sized for the 1200 watt load.

I can buy the EVGA 1300 PC PSU... but its pricey at nearly 200 bucks.

[sorry2xs]

Hi, sidehack, do you have any dps 1200 with break out board i am interested. regards

[sidehack]

Nope, we're still working up the final design. For the time being, the best bet is probably gonna be talking to the gigampz guy. Interest is growing so it's possible we'll manufacture, but selling would be at least a month out.

[sorry2xs]

thanks for the info sidehack.

That looks like a Dell PS-2521 clone - your image is not lear, but if that is a 550W supply, it can run an S5 at stock BUT it will die soon! If you have two of these, put one on each blade and OC to your heart's content, else you'll have to underclock.

Here's how to switch it on


First 3 power blades on right are +ve, the other 3 are -ve

[sidehack]

Looks like it says 950W - it appears to be rated above 70A output.

On a closer look, yep looks like 950W .... so that would run an S5 OK ... switcing on "should" be the same ....

Can anyone source the plug for the DPS-2000?

I'm looking to custom build one, but would much rather buy a plug and build a board off that.

I'm not interested in buying prebuilt. Cost to much

If you've got the PSU handy, look on digikey, they have them .... search for connectors, or something similar to 6 power 24 data connectors  (as in the case of the one above). Be warned, some of these connectors have a high MOQ ...

EDIT: Look at this search http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/connectors-interconnects/backplane-connectors-specialized/1442882

and apply filters on Contact Layout, Typical, i.e choose the number of data and power from that selection.

Went back over this thread and found the part.  Just ordered ten.

I could use a hand finding a really good terminal module that you guys are finding reliable.

And does anyone know of the dps2000 has 4 500w rails or is it a single raIL. With four connectorS?

Thanks

Good, what's the part number?
Also, what do you mean by terminal module? Do you mean the green contacts on the board here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=929875
Those are TERMINAL BLOCK 32A 6.35MM - http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=CN11186 (not sure digikey does them .... I searched there a while back and could not find any ... may have changed though), but they also come in different pitches.

PS. those are 3 in a block, not sure how many power terminals your PSU has, but those blocks also come in 6 (I think that is the max ... may be more), but they are very easy to string together if you have odd numbers.
