My New Used Pelt Power Supply!!!

[simon389]

I just totally scored on eBay with this power supply for my 226watt pelt. It needs 24amps for 12-16 volts of power. Check it out!!

good deal!!!!!
it means you will need to jump (probably two) a couple of wires together in order for the ps to turn on. Hopefully there will be a schematic with it.

Great Job of Bidding

That just looks like a 1U hotswap power supply from a rackmount server case. It should just need two pins jumpered together to turn it on (in place of the motherboard's signal to do so).
The only thing that may make this complicated is that it's a hot swap supply, so it doesn't have a wiring harness like most ATX computer supplies do, because it's made to plug into a carrier box that has the harness on it, similar to a removeable harddrive carrier.
You may just have to experiment with it, or maybe he was nice enough to supply instructions to do so.

you mean it might be completely exposed without a metal casing around it?? That would really not be cool. How might I turn this on with a relay??

I've seen relays for pumps, but never for 2 power supplies....
