  • Pertti, how about a desperate grab for power? [3172 PSU ILO 329/400 wat

    Thank goodness that this "reality" craze never took hold...

    I was mulling over things, and it struck me that the only -other- known
    PSU with the 21 pin Amphenol power plug is for the 3172. Let me be sehr
    klar. This does not have multiple power taps like the 95's three
    receptacles.

    You would have to fabrikobble a back plate to fill up the opening for
    the 95 PSU fan. You have one power tap, so two or three devices is what
    I'd expect.

    But... the 3172-003 was based on a rack mounted 9595 planar.
    Voltage-wise, exactly the same.

    IIRC, there are 220 and 120 volt systems, I dinna ken if they are
    autoranging.

    This is a monster PSU Louis! The power plug seems to be same that is in 95 but nothing else.
    How it´s going to fit to my 8595? And how to take power to the tree drives with one power tap?
    I´m still looking for a right PSU for my 8595.

    I left that up to your desperation. It isn't a monster. More like a fat
    76 PSU. It has one 4 pin drive power connector. A "Y" splitter already
    exists, nothing preventing a "Y" splitter with three plugs instead of two.

    M --\ /-- M -- M
    F

    Do note there is a difference between the API and ONAN PSUs. API has a
    fan, ONAN has lots of ventilation holes. Both would need help with
    cooling the 95's case.

    Both of the current items are 220v 50/60 HZ models.

    The 95 PSU case serves to form the airflow past the memory and the
    drives. The 3172 API PSU looks to be about 340w [ONAN is a little less].

    Solent Spares in the UK -MIGHT- have some parts.
