Been using my SC846 for a few years.
No motherboard, shorted ATX pin.
PWS-902-1R
PDB-PT846-N24
After a while it seemed that if I turned the case off and on again soon, it didn't start every time.
Now it doesn't start at all.
Took out the two PWS and the PDB for testing.
The PWS go to yellow, but ATX short does nothing.. my guess is the PDB is dead.
Ebay show these and the newer PDB for $150 !! might work and fail again, no thanks.
a) anyone have a cheap/spare PDB-PT846-N24 for me in EU?
b) has anyone been able to use 1 or 2 "normal" ATX PSU with 24 disks?
I tried with two old 500W PS, everthing (disk and fans) started up... wow.
But when there was load (raid 0 with 24disks) the backplane turned off with red lights.
c) what about using the cheap HP PSU with a disk mining board?
$55 plus shipping and the cables are SATA = 6+ molex adapters carrying high amp.. NO
d) should I look for a 12V to 5V converter (1 PWS and soldering)?
How many 5V amps needed 24 disk?
e) ?
