Hi
I've just picked up a used SM SCE836TQ-R800B (16 bay SAS/SATA 6G chassis) which was configured with an old X7 motherboard.
I don't intend to use this (although I do want to see how much power it munches through as they're very hungry!), as I have an X8DTE-F sitting in a makeshift storage server which I'd like to transfer.
The power distribution board (pdb) in the chassis is for the X7 range (1 x 24 pin, 1 x 8 pin EPS, 1 x 4 pin EPS[?]). Before I invest in the right PDB for the x8's and newer, I'd like to see whether the current one will power the X8DTE when it is running an L5630 40w CPU.
I only intend to use a single CPU socket and 2 memory slots (16GB total); would it be ok for a single EPS12v or am I required to run the full two?
I picked up the whole chassis (plus 28TB of storage) for less than 200 quid, so the 50 quid for a used PDB is not such an issue, but I would like to see if I really need it.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
