Well, good news on the server PSU breakout board front - I have a completed final production version of my DPS8/12 board. This guy works with both the DPS800 (800/1000W) and DPS1200 (900/1200W) supplies - which also makes it HP Common Slot compatible I reckon, and should work with a decent variety of things. I've had prototypes running miners for a while, with one powering a 4.73T S7 off a DPS1200FBA for a couple months without issue.
The board has a push-button power on/off, or can take a toggle switch. It can be built with either dual 4-position #6 screw terminals per rail (like my Dell 750W board, but doubled) or 12x 6-pin PCIe jacks. It still has the 5VDC aux supply (which is optional), breaks out 3.3V standby, external-turnon and POK signals on my standard 10-pin header.
PCBs have arrived (otherwise how would I have a final version built?) but I'm still waiting on a bulk order of the PSU connectors to arrive. I do have a couple big orders lined up already which will delay the general release, but I expect any orders placed now to be going out by the end of April.

Mine costs quite a bit more than that, but it's got a spring-loaded pin retainer and adjustable crimp depth that make things go fairly quickly, which is good when you have to make cables in batches of several hundred.
yea i saw one of those !!! those things cost but for sure are nice if you need that
, and worth it kind of .Mine is spring loaded and adjustable but geared for single use .Im not saying mine is better or worse but it is one of the better ones you can buy at a cheap price if your using it like i do or need it.

it might can't say i got to make my own PCIE ends for Zeus miners at the time or just to make my own PCEI cables it does them well, I had to learn how to use it the right way, i still use it from time to time but found some one that makes the cables how i want them cost is 7 or so bucks per four .
but it says it can do this and more
For use with AWG 18-22,24-30.
it will do 14 weight wire i was able to do it once i figured how to. it doesn't feel cheap, i bought another one that was cheap for about the same price, i ended up thrashing.
For use with 4pin and 3pin Molex connectors.
Crimp tool for D-Sub and Open Barrel Connectors.
Frame is made from middle carbon hardened steel; Die made of SAE J404C Alloy Steel
Handle is rubber coated

I didn't put PCIe plugs on my boards because I don't like being limited. A good solid screw terminal, well heck you can put whatever you want on it. And cables are cheaper too. Unfortunately people really like to have things quick and easy these days, instead of good and flexible.
100% agree. With screw terminals cables are a lot cheaper. You can cut the cable the length you want. No need for flimsy molex tools to built them.
His way is good it actually stays on the board , the other screw way does suck sadly, i have one those boards and don't use it . but do use the one i bought from him from a third party, if i need the PSU that low like a S1 etc , i have one of his low end boards and I like PCEI plugs more and yes because it is fast easy sometimes fast is better sometimes it's not. , just wanted to make sure it wasn't some kind of safely issue, he knows that stuff pretty good. why i asked
.I use this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007JLN93S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 for 23 bucks it's not flimsy doesn't have all the bells and whistles the 100 $ + has but i also don't need a big high dollar one either . the one i linked is really good for what i need. it will do 14 weight wire even thu it says 18 in the add.

Or the not flimsy incredibly expensive molex tools.

Unfortunately people really like to have things quick and easy these days, instead of good and flexible. Here in a couple weeks I'll have a batch of dual-purpose boards that work for DPS800 and the DPS1200 (HP common slot) family PSUs, which can be built with screw terminals or 6-pin jacks.

Does anyone know if the adapter for the DPS-800 will fit the DPS-700? Can anyone point me to an adapter board for the DPS-700? I have several of these 700w supplies but need a adapter so I can use them with my S1's. Any help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.
it should if you mean these PSU's , I edited my post i read it wrong .

i know you have your reason why no pcie plugs and why i ask i know you know wtf you are doing . why i ask is it safer with out them your design is awesome as well i have one of your break out boards it is nice as well > just wondering more why for safely reason ?.

hello guys,
I have a pair of dual power supply (redundant)
theyre' YM-4032A, 350W per PS (so 2x350W per pair)
they have a 92mm connector, with the following pin out
the power distribution board to which they are connected using a Sullins EZC35DCWN connector has a standard single ATX 24p, with 3 "thick" 12v cables (2x top right, 1x bottom left):
each PSU is rating for 12V/30A:
Would they be useful at all ? (I'm waiting for a couple of S3, and I was wondering it 1 pair would support 1 S3)
Or the W / A rating are too low for anything ?

Does anyone know what's the pin to turn on dps-1520ab psu?

All my boards are designed for integrated current measurement. But people (especially in Bitcoin) are cheapskates and usually didn't want to spend the extra three dollars for a feature that wouldn't get used.
April 05, 2015, 03:01:00 AM
Has anyone developed a breakout board with the ability to adjust output voltage ? Not sure how useful this would be (or which PS's have that on the backplane) for underclocking miners but it would be a neat feature. Another add-on would be a dual led volt / amp meter integrated into the breakout board. Just sayin'

Sure enough, it appears to be a 0.2" blade spacing so the same socket ought to work.
March 26, 2015, 10:01:11 AM
That has the same FCI connector as the 750W supply so the link to the above pdf applies ... i.e available from Mouser
EDIT: If you are going to use that PSU for powering a bitcoin rig, you'll have to drive some air through it as it does not have an in-built cooling fan thus under load it will cut out.
