I've looked yesterday about 4h straight for some information about this PSU. Found only similar diagram for 750w PSU but it seems the pins are different.

Hi Vuli thank you for your answer,

It was my idea initially. I took my multimeter but when I tried to start the power supply I create a short circuit and now when I plug it there is an electric noise and the LED at the back does not turn on anymore. So i i'm pretty sure that i killed one of my PSU  Embarrassed

 I continued to search but I can not find the wiring diagram of this model. Maybe I should post directly to the Dell forum ?

Thank you Cryptocoinfarmer,
Indeed when I tried to connect the pins as in the diagram above (assuming that the connectors were mirrored) it seems to me that I created a short circuit.
I continue my research also.

I've deleted my answer because the scheme was wrong.
Soon I will find you the right way to connecting wires.

Hi  cryptocoinfarmer,

Thx for your reply , i found this scheme but i'm not sure this is the same as my PSU. Because the conector is mounted in the other direction.

According to you,  if i want to start the power supply as shown on this diagram :

I have to connect like this :

Hi everyone,

I just recovered 4 Dell 870W PSU (NPS-885AB) from old servers in my office and i want tu use it to power GPU. I found a lot informations about the 750watt model but nothing for the 870w  Undecided .

I'd like to do the same kind of DIY as in this tutorial http://www.xodustech.com/projects/bitcoin-mining-farm but the 870w's conectors are not the same :

I tried to start one of the power supplies but I created a short circuit  Embarrassed

Has anyone ever used this PSU to power GPUs ?
