Server PSU to atx

Tinker

I am interested in converting an old server case to accept an atx motherboard
The case is20190203_140919.jpg.8060e41967f83144f88e74dd46ac8e16.jpg hstns-2116

with 2 850W psu’s with psu backplane.

The psu’s themselves don’t have any wires coming off them but the backplane does there is 3 bunches of cables coming off them.
1 at 18 pins (P1)
1 at 22 pins (P2)
1 at 10 pins (P3)

The main objective is to use an atx mainboard in it and be able to keep the redundancy of 2 psu’s.

for the main reason I have it so why not make use of it.

Not possible as they don't have the needed voltages.

 

The -12V is irrelevant. +12V a bit high but should be fine.

3,3V you have and could work with, the 8A are OKish for most systems.
But you need to get 5V somewhere - and that the PSU does not have.
