I am trying to fit this power supply inside the 1U:
It is closest thing to a drop in power supply for the 1U that I have found but will require a little bit of modification. Mainly and critically the power input has to be adapted and the enclosure will need some slight metal work to be able to mount between the mounting studs for the stock power supply. On the output side, the connections are almost perfect in this has 2 separate 'modular' output cables to connect to a computer's components. For the 1U K, only the 24 pin ATX motherboard connector and 4 pin 12v connector is needed so the 2nd connector set that would go to a computer's hard drive, optical drive, etc. can just simply be left off (instead of having to cut off the rats next of extra connectors). I have compiled some pros and cons of this power supply to consider.
Pros:
Small compact design that will fit inside the 1U with only minimal modification and without having to remove the power supply from its own enclosure.
The 1U server chassis itself will not have to be permanently modified.
Modular power output connectors that match with what the K motherboard needs; No rats nest of extra cables/connectors inside the server
Released in 2019, should be readily available for the foreseeable future.
Reasonable cost
Cons:
Power input connection has to be modified.
Physical mounting of the power supply will require some finesse.
The two above cons will make this replacement difficult for non technical users
The internals of the power supply don't look as robust as the original.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to make this work?
