Help securing my ATX PSU and/or identifying a server chasis I bought second hand

[Philip Richardson]

I recently bought a 4U server from ebay (£30). It came as a complete package (chasis, PSU, motherboard, RAM, CPU, HDDs, GPU), but I was really only interested in the chasis, so I've taken out the (very old) guts and replaced everything, including the PSU (which is too low power and too noisy). The old PSU was a redundant supply, whereas the one I'm installing is an ATX PSU, and this is where my question comes from...

Is there a bracket / adapter / plate that I can buy for this server chasis, so that I can securely fix the ATX PSU? Will it be specific to this case, or can I buy a 'standard' 4U to ATX mounting bracket?.. In which case (fnarr!), what server chasis do I have (pictures attached)? It looks like an older version of an iStar D400, but the vents at the front don't match the pictures I've found online. So, in short:

• Can you help me fix my ATX PSU in the case (pictures attached)?
• Can you help me identify what 4U server chasis I have bought?

The ATX PSU I'm trying to mount:


The server chasis (an older version of an iStar D400?):

Looks like an iStar, although I don't see the exact drive bay config. Perhaps a D400L-7

The drive bays look like 2 of the supermicro 5in3 hdd cages (CSE-M35TQB | Mobile Rack | Accessories | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc.)

Yes, those drive cages are ones that I put in - when I got it, it had a DVD read/writer and a floppy disk! All the other 5.25" bays were blanked with plates.

Thanks elvisimprsntr - now I need to find a supplier... Or are there generic versions of that part? Comparing the hole placements to other chassis, it looks as though they're standardised; but I can't be sure from the info I've found.

For the base model D400 it is listed as P/N BRT-D4UATX-C. Looks the same on the BOM exploded diagram

Everywhere I looked, it is listed as out of stock. Perhaps you can inquire directly with istar.
