Bladecenter H 2880W Breakout Boards. Selling from stock, limited time discount

[J4bberwock]

Hi:

Do you know where i can find a cheap Bladecenter H PSU , i found delta 2000 on minersource with the price of 29 USD. But i prefer to look for a larger PSU with fan.

Thank you.

For the US market, there were a few of them available on Ebay, around 50$, I haven't checked recently.
The guy who will resell the boards for small orders in the US should also be able to sell the PSUs.

anyone can give a hint, where and how to find the female connector for a 8 (4+4) -power style PSU like DSP1520?

I am very interested in this supply.
I sent a PM about being involved in the next batch.
I am in the US.

Look on digi-key or farnell. You can also post an image here and I am sure if anyone knows where to source them you'll get advice. If you are posting an image, it would also be nice to read any text / branding on the connector and post it here .... the manufacturers are usually molex or FCI (branded powerblade or PWRBLADE).

I spend 1-2 hours on these sites and did not find it 100% sure, because missing product pictures or drawings.



It would also help me to find the correct names of these "6mm twin copper contacts " to find seperate 4 plug female connectors. I Don't need perfect solution.

OK, thats a good image ... is it a dell PSU? If so then it most likely is an FCI connector and it is called an 8 power 24 data connector ... or that is what you search for on digi-key, I did a quick search and here goes ... hover over the images to see

EDIT: I think one of these is your connector (on that search above). you need to make sure of the dimensions first though!:

thank you!!
that's obviously exact the one.
Unfortunately they ship either big quantities only or shipping costs to europe are much higher than 1-2 connectors.

So as a workaround it still would be nice to find the correct names of these "6mm twin copper contacts " to find separate 4 plug female connectors may be at other vendors or shops?

Usually, digikey have free shipping when you hit a certain threshhold, all you need to do is get a few bits and bobs from them to make up that amount. But just like this thread, you can set up a group buy for your connector types, or offer them for re-sale on this board (I know I am going to be doing that soon!).

I am afraid I do not have any information as to the name of those twin copper contacts or whether you can get them separately, but the workaround I used up until the time I "discovered" the correct connectors for my server PSU was to solder the wires directly to the copper connecotrs. It worked very well then and still works on the units I've not have the chance to "upgrade" yet.

I have some connectors for this PSU in hands.
I'll have a look tomorrow to be sure, but I should have at least 4 of them.
Part number: 51915-101LF.
Datasheet: http://download.siliconexpert.com/pdfs/2010/12/26/3/4/38/223/fci_/manual/51915-101.pdf

No stock anywhere

You'll need right angle ones since the PSU covers the power connector.
If you want to use at least 5 PSUs, drop me a PM, I can have breakout boards ready in 10 days for this PSU.
It was on my "maybe" list.

There will be a US reseller for the boards, so you'll be able to save on shipping..

Thanks for the reply.

I can solder, have access to any wire type needed from probably 24 ga (probably smaller if we needed it) to 4/00. We have a department which prefabs all of our boxes and misc stuff. I should be doing more in there than buying these break out boards but they sincerely add functionality I would never take the time to add. I do not have anything from you yet, but I do have a couple of the GekkoScience boards with a few of the DSP2000s and plan on getting more.

Maybe I haven't looked in all the right places, but it seems like these larger power supplies are hard to find. Do you foresee a problem with finding replacements or adding more down the road? Do you have a "go to list" of dependable people?

I prefer dealing with folks I meet through the forum or people you recommend.

What is the median price for those PSU and how loud are they ? Thanks

PSUs are usually around 50$ in the US, and noise level is like most of the server PSUs with fans, let's say vacuum cleaner.

Like a high pitched 16amp upright vacuum.  If you have thin walls, the sound will go right through.  You definitely cannot live in the same building with these.  It's well above 80db.

I can post a video if people are interested in hearing them, but they are loud.

Yeah Im curious what is the sound of these beast!

I want to make a recognition to J4bberwock.

I have received the breakout board and the cables and I can say they are of very high qulaity - everything works.
The only thing I noticed as an issue was poor contact between IEC-20 socket and the small board for feeding power to the PSU - there have been some sparkles plugging the power cable into the IEC-20 due to the poor contact.
I disassembled the IEC-20 from the breakout board, adjusted it and then assembled again all parts back and it's fine now.

Overall - very good product quality.
Thanks J4bberwock.

As for the noise from the PSU - I have never heard anything that loud so far concerning bitcoin mining
