Don't mount your dps2000bb upside down. Board has to be on the bottom!!  They just turn themselves off though, so that's good to know if a problem occurs. Damn these things work well! I've got each one running 10x r9-270x. I did have to do some rewiring for stability, the 5v line for the risers I sell should come from the computer controlling the cards. That lets them do a proper restart when they need to. I was trying to run them in bunches and it didn't work as well.

Someone asked about fans, I just put a little fan connector header on the side of the plug, and strap four fans to each bank of two psus. Zip ties, real ugly.

I'm probably gonna use this guy since it's a right-angle connector.

Found it. This is what HP uses in DL580G5. Exact match.
P/N number on my PSU is 438202-001

Finally found some information on how to turn on the HP Common Slot Power Supplies:

Still looking for a connector though.




Here are few more details (Pin37 has 12V standby power and Pin30 is a ground):

I've confirmed the following connector can work, but it's not an exact match:

Here's a picture of how it matches up. Notice some of the data pins connect on the ground plane and also, there is some over hanging on the left:


I'll give a $100 in BTC to the person that can find me an exact match!

Probably going to put a pair of three-pin headers on the board, with a PWM speed adjust tied to both fans. As with the Z750 board, this'll have both manual control, and auto control from an external signal pin so you can implement temp sensors if you want.

I see the DPS-xxxxBB have no fans. How would one cool it, if it is even needed?

I was just going to stack two on top of each other, roughly the height and width of two 120mm fans.

i think a couple of small side fans 40x40mm might be the sollution.

Op board has headers and I think you basically zip tie one on

Yep, that's the connector I have spec'd to prototype with.

I'm all but certain all DPS-xxxxBB supplies use both the same connector and pinout. From looking at many, many e-bay ads I'm nearly certain they are not only the same connector, but the same form factor too.

Let me know if you would like any help, but I am pretty busy making USB riser cables  Grin

The DPS-2000BB uses this backplane connector.  Ordered two of the PSU and two connectors, both just dandy.  Can't wait to see if you get a working interface board with these PSUs.

Oh I've got every tool you can think of, been wiring cars and everything else for a long time. Doesn't matter what the action is, you do it a few hundred times in a row, it's gonna hurt.

By the way, these are the best wire strippers ever, apart from having another person to do it for you.

Ok, the FCI 51915-064LF part discussion has come to a dead-end.  Our only option is to place a large enough order to get the factory to manufacture another run.  Minimum quantities look like 200+.  Do we have that much interest?  If so, we have a couple ways to move on this.  I've got quotes for ordering these, which I've forwarded to sidehack.

I've got a couple on order should arrive next week, and will be gathering parts to prototype over the weekend. Probably nothing going out before the end of the month, but three or four weeks might see a production run. Takes a while to get all the various ducks in a row.

I think you're spot on - it is the same PSU!

Still you just cannot beat 2000W for £50...

How long before we can see boards surfacing?

Isn't that the DPS-2000BB? I have a couple on the way for experimenting with, and am planning on building a board for this one.
