I got this board only, not the server and it seems to come from a server named RS520A-E11-RS24U from Asus, I think this is not as proprietary as Dell but I just want to make sure if anyone has this board and if it works fine with a regular ATX PSU.

if you want redundant PSU service you need power distr.unit even with the KEPA-U16.
KMPA-U16 is OEM. normaly never used with ATX PSU.
remember these are server motherboards not made for PC Cases. you need continious Air flow over all parts.
I am not able to make it fit as-is and would have to cut the plastic. Does Asrock have the same pinout?
This is from Asrock and first 4 pins from right seem identical to me.

With the key on top and from left to right, PWM | Speed | +12V | GND is the default pinout for 3/4-pin fans. That's why Asrock has a gap in the key on the header so that you can connect standard 3/4-pin fans.
Asus could have done the same thing, but apparently they didn't. With pins 5 and 6 on their connectors being an additional GND and +12V, is looks like these headers are intended for higher power fans, which makes sense in a server. You'd have to cut the key indeed, similar to how Asrock did it, and then you should be able to use standard 3/4-pin fans.
