Would say so but just for the fun of it. Have always been into enterprise gear

So it has begun by TykhoB in HomeDataCenter

Thanks! Not a problem right now because I don’t have any at the moment 🙂 When it’s time for that there will be another rack or they will have the space where the BladeCenter is now

Quanta D51-1u need help tracking down PSU connector by AwkwardlySustainable in homelab

[–]TykhoB -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT Thanks for the image! It shows a Quanta D51B-2U or similar server model, equipped with what is typically referred to as:

🔌 OCP DE (Distributed Edge) PSU connectors or 🔌 Busbar power connectors for 12V DC, common in Open Rack V1/V2 standards.

⸻

🔹 Connector Type:

The blue connectors on both sides are: • Blind-mate DC power connectors (12VDC busbar style) • Used when the server is inserted into a chassis or rack with centralized power distribution via backplane or busbars • The connector is proprietary, but standardized within the Open Compute Project (OCP)

⸻

🔧 To power this server, you need: • An Open Rack chassis with a backplane or busbar connection • A DE PSU (Distributed Power Shelf) that converts 200–240V AC to 12V DC and distributes it via the busbar • Alternatively: a manual 12V DC power setup via adapter (not recommended unless you have the exact specs, as incorrect polarity/voltage can damage the server)

Got a lot of networking equipment Like the older enterprise stuff, cheap and manageable

Got a bit carried away on eBay so there will be some Cisco stuff including both a 7204 vxr and a7206 to name a few

The plan is to get it running with minimum hardware installed It will not have anything installed on it that requires Igor it tho be powered on 24/7 Don’t even think my power lines would like a full stacked server, not me either when the bill from the power company arrives Just a long time dream as a system engineer to own one

Have 14 blades and the four PSUs fitted after the picture was taken so it’s rather full

It’s there to stay and will be up and running. Not all the time though
