SuperMicro server board and PSU

[makarit3]

Hi,

I intend to purchase a SuperMicro server board like the X10DRT-P : X10DRT-P | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc.

In the manual there no specific on PSU. In general, is a [ 1200w 24-pin + 2x8-pin PSU ATX2.4x/EPS2.9x ] PSU compatible with this kind of board ?
Do I need to buy $$$ SuperMicro PSU ?
Any recommendation on third party PSU to use with this board ?

I know that SuperMicro Workstation boards usually accomodate well with 3rd party PSU. I'm not sure for the server board.

Thanks.

With a Supermicro ATX style board, a regular EPS PSU with the correct number of 8 pin 12v connections will work. The X10DRT-P you linked to isn't designed to work with a normal PSU. That board needs a special case designed to handle multiple X10DRT-P boards which connect on a proprietary back plane connection to the PSU in the chassis. If you want to use it, look at the bottom of the page you linked to under the chassis section.

Yep it's proprietary.
