Power distributor for SuperMicro X11SPH-nCTF

[centaur]

Hello guys,

I have these components:
- SuperMicro X11SPH-nCTF
- ES CPU from ebay: Intel Xeon QL1M CPU Processor Gold 6130 ES CPU LGA 3647 16 Core 1.8GHz QL1M.
- Noctua NH-U14S DX-3647
- 4 x 16GB Kingston KTH-PL424S/16G
- Samsung Evo Plus 970 - 500GB
- Fractal Design Define R6

I am considering Power Distributor for this motherboard.

Does anyone have experience with pdb on this mobo?

Also, I would need two power supplies that can fit in my Fract Design, any recommendations on that? I am not yet sure about power I need because I am still considering how many hard disks I am going to use for my mini jbod storage solution.

Final goal is to have one PS on UPS and the other one directly to wall outlet

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

M.

I dont think this is going to be as simple as you hope.
The chassis is designed for an ATX PSU, so whatever you do it need to fit into that factor or you need to mod accordingly.
You best bet would be to look for ATX PSUs that already have redundancy built in like these

Twins

Twins series, a redundant power supply, is designed for standard ATX or PS2 chassis, no front end bracket needed, ideal for mail, web or home server.Hot swappable modules design provides stable power supply: when one fails, the other can take over the load immediately.Thus users do not need to...

Thank you very much @Rand__ , that is exactly what I need.

Based on your suggestion, I also found these power supplies:

Supermicro:

Supermicro 500W Multi-Output Redundant Power Supply (PWS-503R-PQ)

Designed for Workstation and Desktop Redundant Power Supply 24 Pin ATX Output Supermicro Certified

Any thoughts on these?

Well I guess there are not so many choices, so take your pick based on availability, price, required load capability and energy star rating, based on whatever priority you assign.

I have no experience any of them, my last redundant PSU is 8 years old

Well that's nice, you bought the right one

Nah, have not been using it for 6 or 7
Swapped it out for a regular Platin level ATX one;
stopped running fully redundant individual systems and went with a cluster solution instead.
Too expensive (power costs) to have everything in a dual config

I thought about a similar setup (redundant supermicro psus) and decided against it: the power from the outlet could be "dirty" and damage the psus/systems....
Now everthing gets "clean" power from the ups

Another issue for me was that it makes tracking energy consumption more difficult

You could also Frankenstein a Power Supply (like I'm currently doing).

Supermicro PT747-4648 + 2 1.6kW Platinum Supplies gives you a cheap (max. 200 bucks), hot swappable, platinum efficiency 1.6kW power supply.
...might be a bit too much for just one CPU, but maybe you'll add GPUs in the future?

I chose the PT747-4648 because it is the only sensible dual-PSU PDB with PCIe power you can buy
