Does my mobo (Asus PC-DL Deluxe) require a specific PSU (12V EPS)????????????
My Motherboard (Asus PC-DL Deluxe for Dual Xeon) requires a 8pin ATX +12V
Power Plug to be connected. My case is a Chieftec BX-03B-B-SL. (nothing fancy, justa good solid case and a 350Wpsu) Apart from the usual 20pin and the standard power leads for the CD-Rom, Hard Drive I do not have an 8pin lead, I do however have a 4 pin lead from the psu that would partially fit the 8pin socket on the board, (just like some boards have a 24 pin socket and some PSU's have a 20 pin lead there is no problem fitting the 20 pin lead to the 24 pin socket, The mobo manual indicates which end of the 24pin socket (the 4 pins) is left blank. is if suffice to use the 4 pin, I looked at the Chieftec site but there is ZERO tech support on their site, hope I have made this somewhat clear to understand. any help is appreciated, just about to begin the install of the OS until i came to this issue. Thanking you, Tom |

Mine works fine with my 430W Enermax PSU, since 2 months now. Same 20 pin + 4 pin, plugged into 24 and 8 sockets. |

+ 4 pin, plugged into 24 and 8 sockets. That's odd, considering that Asus says in the manual that the system won't even turn on if the 8 pin connection isn't plugged in properly. Whatever works, I guess, but I'm curious as to how much Ram you have installed and how many processors you are running, because it doesn't seem logical for a standard power supply to be able to supply enough voltage to a fully loaded system to run stably. -- Anthrax442 "Well, throw in a rectal exam, and this'll be the best day ever!"

Thanking you, Tom You need an EPS12V power supply, not an ATX power supply. Here's a bit of information from the SSI (Server System Infrastructure) initiative web site - essentially an Intel led initiative to standardise on server component specifications. http://www.ssiforum.org/html/adoptedspecs.asp We used an Antec 550W EPS12V power supply in a system we recently put together with the PC-DL. Not cheap. http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_i...oducts_id=1278 There are other manufacturers of EPS12V supplies. Just search on the string "EPS12V" at you favorite supplier's web site. They're not very widespread, so you may only find one or two at any given supplier. |

Thanks guys,
I ordered the antec 12v eps (prior to seeing Jims comments) as someone else recommended I use that model. You're right in saying they are not cheap ?150, cheers, Tom "Tom" wrote in message ...
