Old PSU's, do they match?
13 minutes ago, blibby said:I have a Dell Optiplex 360 and a Dell Dimension 9150 PSU, the Dimension 9150 PC had multiple issues that couldn't be resolved, so it is going in the bin.
The Optiplex 360 worked, until the PSU gave out, however the PSU from the 9150 works fine. So I am trying to install the Dimension 9150's PSU in the Optiplex 360.
I have looked up their pinouts from the Dell support website
Page 106 for pinouts Dell Optiplex 360 Service Manual
Page 12 for pinouts Dimension 9150/XPS 400 Service Manual (dell.com)
They seem very similar for their 24 pin, however some of the 12v say VADC and on the other PSU it says VBDC, I tried Googling, but couldn't find an answer, would appreciate it a lot if someone would be able to help!
Thanks!
VADC and VBDC most likely refer to the used voltage rail.
For example, the Optiplex 360´s PSU has one +12V rail, referred to as rail A (so 12 VADC means 12 Volt DC from rail A).
The Dimension 9150´s PSU has two +12V rails, rail A for the 4-Pin processor connector and rail B for the 24-Pin and all the others (so again, 12 VADC is 12V from rail A, and 12VBDC is 12V from rail B).
Long story short, the Dimension 9150´s PSU will work just fine in the Optiplex 360.
