Hello everybody,
since HP does not allow PSU upgrades for HP Z600(650W is the only option), I want to get some information on the available ATX replacements for the HP PSU. From what I've read and seen, there are ways around HP's custom connectors. First of all, I found some adapter cables that can be used to utilize the 18-pin power connector on my mobo:
https://www.amazon.com/Eyeboot-18-Pin-Supply-Adapter-Motherboards/dp/B01HQ2JQ3G#feature-bullets-btf
Now, all I need to find is a suitable PSU to match EPS/SSI requirements for server system boards/dual xeons. There are plenty ATX EPS12V compatible PSUs, let's take this one:
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/rm-series-rm850-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply
I was wondering if this is something I could use with HP's Z600? I take it you need to get an adapter to even connect this to an 18-pin HP mobo but what about peripheral connectors(USB, molex, SATA, SAS)? Will I be able to connect them using this PSU or I do somehow need a separate adapter for each cable? From the HP Z600 PSU specs sheet it seems like it doesn't have anything special so architecture-wise it should work with the mobo. Thanks in advance for your input.
Regards,
Peter
