Hi All,
I have an ancient computer that's just collecting dust on my network, and I'd like to use it as an enclosure to hold (and power) a few SCSI devices, one DVD burner and two hard drives. It will be connected to my primary system with proper cabling (an interior-exterior SCSI cable adapter, etc), and the devices will be run off the exterior SCSI port on the controller in my primary system.
My question has to to with the Sparkle (SPI) FSP300-60GT power supply in this secondary machine. I know these supplies require a minimum load on certain rails, although I have no idea which rails, and what voltage is required on each.
If I use this supply to run the three SCSI devices, but don't connect the motherboard or any other power leads, will this be enough to satisfy its minimum load requirements?
I hope I've described my question clearly, and I appreciate any help or info.
Thanks,
Jeff
