Thanks, that is a great article.
Excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I am willing and would love to buy an updated and more efficient power supply. My chassis as I mentioned before holds 4 power supply blades, and can use them as redundant. To me though, this does not mean that if I have 2 plugged in, that it is only providing 350 watts of power. In fact, i'm not sure I could even boot up the server with only one running. I take it to mean i've got 700 watts available to me and no redundancy. On that note though, I did order more psu blades a few days ago since 2 of the 4 are bad. I will be putting 2 more in early next week when they arrive. But while we are on the subject, maybe someone wiser than me can help me out on this.
These are the power supplies that were in the server when I got it (an old throw away from a previous company).
T-Win PSM-ISR950EP 350W Power Supply Blades
I have been unsuccessful on figuring out whether these blades are universal (meaning I can buy a different brand, bigger wattage, etc. and plug them in). Or if they are made specifically for this chassis and I have to buy the exact same ones again, etc.
If I can upgrade do something that provides clean efficient power, I will do it in a heart beat. I just don't know enough about this to know what to look for.
Thanks again for all the help guys! I am slowly learning here :)
