I agree. Can you determine where your voltages need to be and just "insert" them from a known good supply? The equipment shouldn't care where the DC comes from as long as it's there. Lenny

yes and no. I could run it forever with jumper cables to another power supply, but that's not acceptable in a datacenter.

the unit has been trashed, I kept the blowers though. Chinese fans apparenly outlast chinese power supplies.

understandable,....power supplies take a lot more stress. ;-)

OR,the fans follow the KISS principle of engineering....and the Chinese PS follows it too far. ;-)

I guess to be fair, the fans are from NMB, and they know bearings.

Lite-on makes third rate keyboards, cdroms and apparently power supplies.
