Hi everyone!
I have a client that had two Supermicro Superserver 6016TT-IBXF (most probably) sitting in a rack unused, because they were supposedly no longer working.
One of them has a dead power supply (PWS-1K21P-1R), its led does not turn on when power is supplied, no fans are spinning, etc.
The other one has a working power supply PWS-981-1S) which it is loud as hell, even when no node is powered on. Otherwise the server was decommissioned because hard drives failed, no biggie.
I checked both chassis are working when using this power supply, so both are ok regarding the PDB.
I wanted to buy another power supply, if not two if i can find a quieter model.
After looking at this thread i had my eyes on this power supply : PWS-920P-SQ
I was pretty much about to buy a couple on ebay when i saw this thread where the question of the compatibility of the PDB was raised.
I have no choice for the PDB, it is the default one (PDB-PT808-S20).
Is it compatible with the SQ power supplies? If not what are my options for a quieter PWS?
Should i contact SM support for clues? I'm afraid they are going to give me the list of the officially supported PWS...
Thanks for your help!
