Yep, there's all kinds of information if you go looking for it, but since selling these boards keeps food on my table I'm not really of a mind to help circumvent that.

Hi. I need help.
I know how to turn on the PSU, but i'm looking for a full pin out for HP DPS-1200FB A.
Does anyone have information?

sure , but asking how to hot wire a psu on a thread that is selling breakout boards to do what you want is poor form.

maybe some one will pm you the answer maybe not.

more to protect the bear parts that can touch stuff that can short out
As I understand it, the only parts that have short out potential are the pins on the bottom of the breakout board; nothing on the external of the psu itself should be conducting electricity.  Would be a pretty crummy psu design if you could electrocute yourself by touching the outside of it while it was running.


that's exactly what i mean or referring to the bottom of the bob, other then that nothing else is ever a problem. unless i need something in one place for a while and not be able to move it, there really good for that to.

Also illegal. Course sometimes the plug is wired in by an amateur electrician slash professional jackass. House I was in a couple years ago had the dryer plug wired with one hot leg hooked to case ground.

But yeah, inside the PSU the case should be ground or isolated.

my server hp 1200 is really quiet.

some how it is so quiet i find it amazing.

I came up with a perfect mount solution.

let  me photo it.

left over 1 ½  by 1 ½ tubing

cut to 1 foot or so

and some electrical tape  for no shorts
clamp holds psu

clamp is nice

What's the point? You could just put the PSU directly on the wooden surface and not worry about anything.

simple  this a  temporary place next spot will be different.  next spot will need a bar to be mounted.


pretend the wood is this shelving which is for the solar array.   It  now has 6 ½ soon to be 8 ½   a6s

I will take the bar and 3m foam tape it to the top of the miner.  then place it on this set of shelving

I would have considered doing all my avalons like that but this break out board was not around

Except that if you guys use industrial tape to hold things down what happens when you need to move them?  Seems inconvenient.

That is why i clamped it.  As I most certainly will move the two units to the solar array in May.

By May 15th  the house will have 2 pcs mining eth coins and 12 sidehack compac sticks.

I like this break out board.  I will get back with more info on it the next few days.

 MY 1200 psu's on start up spin up high fan wise have been that way sense i bought them then give it 2 mins you never hear them again. they just run for ever with no other kind of cooling other then what they come with mine were all bought according to the seller oem brand new even looked new with one year warranty and keeping then out in the open is all the cooling they seem to need, like others do.


I bought one of these boards can't wait for it to get here but can no real rush.

DPS1200 has 12V standby on pin 37 as far I know - I guess unused pins are accesible to wire-up on your board.

Can you elaborate on IO port? Or point me to spec/pinout?

5V standby might be possible with a complete redesign and a fair bit more complication and losing compatibility with the standard IO my boards have had since the beginning. So, no not really unless you want to wire it up yourself. DPS800 has 5V standby on an unused pin, but I honestly don't know what it would tie to on the DPS1200.

Yes, with the external-on pin it's pretty easy to make an external controller turn 'em on and off. All my boards have done that.

...The board has an on/off button (toggle switch optional), standard status LEDs (green standby, blue 12V), optional 5VDC aux supply, and our standard 10-pin IO header. POK and External On are functional...
1- Any chance to get 5V standby?
2- Any chance to make one Raspberry Pi controlling power-on/off to several of these boards?

...Safe bet the supply's fan is in hair-dryer mode...
They never go really loud.

Yes the HP Common Slot power supplies really do not need airspace around them.
Agree, in HP servers I see several types every week there is no much space on DC side.
Check out original HP breakout board (in cage), notice amount of cables going out, know there are big radiators in the cage and this is attached to TWO PSU's at once.
