SuperMicro P6DGU

[Facecard]

I have an old SuperMicro P6DGU board. This computer which was used as a Novell server back in the early 2000s. I need to buy another power supply for it. In the past, I think I used the PowerMan FSP300 power supply because it comes with the second power connector.

According to the SuperMicro user manual, this board has an ATX power (J32) and a secondary power PWR_SEC (J36) which I think the PowerMan FSP300 comes with it. I want to make sure I am buying the correct type of power supply for this particular motherboard.

Unless there is another power supply similar to PowerMan FSP300, I may go with PowerMan.

Where are you planning on getting that power supply from? Most of the sites/listings I see are selling "compatible" power supplies and none of them specify what plugs the power supply has. It's probably going to be a bit of a crap shoot.

I also have to ask what the need to keep that ancient box running is.

I think the connector you're looking for is the ATX AUX Power connector, it's the same sort of plug that AT power supplies had. I guess it was there to provide for more power in case the ATX 20pin power plug was not enough.

Startech still makes brand new power supplies with this connector if you're interested.
