Hi folks
With the long winter nights approaching, I decided I needed a DIY project to keep me busy and I've long had a hankering to hack a blade into a functioning workstation. So I obtained a Fujitsu Primergy BX924 S4 dirt cheap and I already have a pair of Xeon E5-2650 V2s and a dozen 8Gb DDR3 ECC DIMMs.
I chose the Fujitsu over the many other blades available as it has a pair of PCI-E slots (16x and 8x) which will make it much easier to add a graphics card and networking.
However, I have not got very far due to not being able to determine how the power pins on the back of the blade are configured - I have a suitable 1200W HP PSU and I think the blade probably requires just a +12v supply, but it's not at all obvious which pines are +12v and which are GND, even worse, I can find nothing in any Fujitsu documentation nor in any Amphenol documentation either.
Anyone got any idea how the power pins are configured on this thing?
