Dogie's comprehensive setup guide now up in super HD!

Thanks for this. Very helpful!

I was wondering why my PSUs did not turn on. Wasn't aware of the need to jumper it. I guess I missed that if it was covered in this thread.

Now if my batch 3 units would just ship...

If you are usa based here is a good item on ebay

I purchased about ten of them from him.

Good for a 100 PSU's...  Wink

I would say a scathing insult about using paperclips.  But it is your gear and your money.

 I won't use paper clips.
 I won't use server psu's.

 same reason for  either of the above. shock/short hazard.

I sale my gear used and tested on ebay or to local miners.  

So I don't sell gear that has short/shock hazards.

Oh the scathing insult is don't be "stupid cheap"   or better known as :  "pennywise pound foolish"  and those paperclips would fit that bill.  as would the server psu's in any home with kids or pets.



How would server PSUs in any way be dangerous? If anything they are safer due to much higher build quality and higher quality components.
    the break out boards have exposed  solder points  crossing a neg to a positive is possible

Easily fixed with any number of less than $3 off the shelf solutions, and you could make the same argument that someone could cross wires on a ATX supply. I dont have to worry about my cables being too thin for the load, or crappy components blowing under 100% load- these dells can do 110-120% load for months at a time without issues
