Hi, I have a X11SPI-TF MB as "hyper-converged" server but I would like to separate the storage part in as separate system. I would like to power both systems with the same PSU in order to reduce fan noise and clutter in the case.
I am looking at Supermicro Seon-D platform with 10GB ethernet. Those boards have the possibility of direct 12v power (JP1) but the connector is not standard.
I am wondering if I will be able to make myself an adapter from PJ1 to regular ATX 4x CPU connector. In the manual for example for Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F the pin out is given as containing only 12v and GND.
In a STH forum thread there is mentioning of an official adapter CBL-PWEX-1063 but it has additional pins like +5V standby, PS_ON and PWR_GOOD. Do you know if there are multiple variants of this 12v connector?
Alternative method for powering the two systems with the same psu will be to use Y slitter for the 24pin PSU cable but this sounds more risky.
So any other ideas how to power two systems with one PSU? Have you experimented with the auxiliary 12v power of Supermicro motherboards?
Thanks.
