Hello, I have a problem with p/s to my old Siemens Nixdorf Primergy 300 server. You can see it's motherboard (D963) here: http://www.artofhacking.com/th99/m/S-T/34143.htm.
Right now I use p/s that was installed when I bought the server. It's Magnatek 3616-25-100. It has similar connectors to AT ones and additional 5V and 3V connector. What I mean by similar: When you look at the picture on a webpage I linked above then left from CN6 (bottom right corner) you have: RRRKKK (additional 5V) RRRWKK BKVORY (5V / 12V) and left from CN14 (near the center) you have (order: top -> bottom) BBBGGG (additional 3V) letters stand for the colors of the wires: Y - yellow R - red O - orange V - violet K - black B - brown W - white Current p/s works but: 1. one (or more) of the capacitors inside p/s leaked 2. it's quite noisy (noise doesn't come from a fan) I would like this server to be on 24h/day so it would be best to change this p/s. At first I thought that I can use ATX p/s, because there is additional connector on the motherboard that looks like atx connector (top left corner). However it's 22 (yes - 22) pin. This brings the first question: 22-pin - what standard is that? Since I haven't seen 22-pin power supplies anywhere my chances of buying one that is not only in good condition but also quiet are rather slim. This brings my second question: is there any way of using atx power supply with this motherboard? I know that it's old, but I would really like to make it work so please don't tell me to buy another server/computer ;-). regards t47 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
