Proliant 5000 Power Supply

[Mark Vaughn]

Recently the Power Supply in my Proliant 5000 server died on me. The machine was running linux and setup with a 4 disk raid array. There is some data on the server that I would like to collect before I retire the machine. Is it possible to modify a normal PC power supply to temporarily use to boot the proliant.

What I guess I'm looking for in some info on the voltages of the stock mainboard connector. There are 4 colors on the power connector red, purple, orange and black. The black is obviously ground. Can anyone help with the remaining values for the other wires?

Hi Mark,
Simplest way is to pull the scsi card and disk array and fire them up on a suitable PC, the card will happily fun on a standard pci slot.
Worked for me

You could get the PSU refurbished for a small expense (much cheaper than a new one).

Though Colin's idea sounds interesting
