Hi there. Got the Shuttle XPC FB81 mobo. Was looking for a psu for it. the mobo hasnot got a 20 or 24 pin plug on it. its got 8-pin ATX2, 6-pin ATX1, 4-pin ATX3. Am im going to have to get a special psu? Picture of were the plugs are:
That's a very strange board there. You propably need to get a strange PSU aswell, unless you go modding a regular ATX one
Yeh thats what i was thinking strange. and yeh maybe able to mod a psu to hook up to it i have the user manual and says what thw plugs are and the wires but are not labeled very good have a look this is the manual for it. http://global.shuttle.com/download03.jsp?PI=82&PL=3 another photo.
Shuttle SB81 FB81 red 4-pin ATX3 connector = floppy power connector Hullo, I posted this in your work log, and though I'd post it here as well, so anyone else having the same problem can find the info easier. Including some search words / quick info for future searchers: Shuttle SB81 FB81 red 4-pin ATX3 connector = floppy power connector ! Looks like yer have ta meik yer own converter out of an ATX extension cable. Shouldn't be too difficult, you have the pin assignments there on page 38/81. As for the ATX3 connector, I don't understand why they didn't include a pin-out on that one as well! *shakes head* Perhaps google is our friend? *googling* After _A-L-O-T_ searching all over the darn intarwebs, I found this informative thread at X-bit labs.. scroll down to the large post by user Hammer_Time, the one with the large + bold font quotes (it's about two thirds down): http://www.xbitlabs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4914&sid=056a70ddfcada6f1423e2f89242abc75 So the mysterious ATX3 connector is apparently just a plain floppy power connector, and you only have to connect it if using a PCI-e (GFX) card. =) [side note] Also, I found a pic of what ships with the Shuttle XPC SB81P case, and there you can clearly see the 4-pin molex/floppy power splitter cable. Shuttle should really have included some info about it in the manual and/or labeled it PCI-E PWR or something like that, perhaps even making the floppy power connector red as well. *sigh*
Thanks man will have a look at link after work. not going to have a floppy drive so thats one less thing have to worry about. and not having a GFX card or other pci card. makes it even more easyer. Think if i was to get a atx psu with 120mm fan so is silent modify it say i can get the plugs with pins from my electrics shop.
Ok got this link off a post of a NZ pc forums site. http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=PSUXPC0350 only thing is its discontinued going to search tonight for one now i no what it looks like and name.
You are welcome, I'm glad to help! ^_^ If you should have problem finding those 6 and 8 pin connectors, it would be very easy to modify the ATX connector on a standard ATX PSU into two connectors that will fit on that MB. Cable side 24-pin ATX connctor: Just cut away the middle of the connector so you leave the first four columns of pins and the last three (pins 1-4 + 13-16 and pins 10-12 + 22-24). You'll probably have to cut the wires and solder them to the right pins cause they probably won't match the ATX1 and ATX2 pin outs, but that's no biggie. The only downside, as I see it, is that you don't get the safety "hook" on the connectors, but I don't really think you'll need them anyway. This can be done on a 20-pin ATX connector as well but the 6-pin connector is one pin in from the end instead. Question: Hmm.. looking at the pin outs for ATX1 and ATX2 on page 38/81 in the manual, I get a little bit confused... it says that pin 4 = NC. Do you (or anyone) know what NC is??
Yeh was thinking of modding a psu but have now found i can get the shuttle xpc psu with the 6 and 8 pin plugs on them max is 400watts i have found so far. NC = No connection Been looking at hdd holders 5.25 to 3.5 bay converters and found a couple that would work after a little removing of couple parts. I have 4x 5.25" bays i can work with to fit 5 hdds. The Li-Lan have a 2x 5.25 to 3x 3.5" hdd converter 2 of them would use 4 5.25 bays and get my a total of 6 3.5 bays. still loooking round on this idea
Ok Thanks all. Got the psu sorted found a shuttle xpc 400w one that has the 6 and 8 plug on it. Now the fun part more like the hard part i mean. The power and restart buttons and power and hdd led plugs. Thay thay not a normal pin header in the mobo it is one big plug that has them all in it. I have worked out a couple of wires on the plug to what thay are but dont no were the power LED / light is and dont no were the earths are for them all. If anyone has this mobo or case can you check. Just to let you no i dont have the case of the wires as installing the mobo in to a custom built case i have made. Thanks (Update) just looked at list again and im thinking that the ones with GD on the ends are the earths.
Here is a better photo of the mobo plug. The mobo plug and a ide plug Ok just had a look and a ide one is to long by 15mm. A ide plug is 55mm long and 6mm. the pins are like 3mm center to center. The plug on the mobo is 40mm long br 5mm. the pins are like 2mm center to center mmmm sumthing like this mite work. http://nz.farnell.com/1364750/connectors/product.us0?sku=HARWIN-M22-2542005 specs and sizes of it http://www.harwin.com/include/downloads/pdfs/2007PAGE93.PDF
Hmm, those links don't work properly. About the power led, you could just connect the pwr led in series with a suitable resistor to the 5V of the PSU.
Hi everyone got email from Shuttle people and email was: Regarding your concern about SB81P issue, please check the attached file. 14&16 pin are HD LED 17&19 pin are PW LED RST_SW(12) and PW_SW(15), you can connect with any other normal ground wire The file is:
Got this list off the differant person on a differant forum: I suspect from the nomenclature that it should be the following... 1 Mouse Clock 2 Mouse Clock common 3 Mouse Data 4 Mouse Data common 5 Keyboard Clock 6 Keyboard clock common 7 Keyboard Data 8 Keyboard Data common 9 Keyboard Power 10 Keyboard Ground 11 Keyboard Power 12 Reset Switch 13 FP ground (Common Ground) 14 Hard Drive LED 15 Power Switch 16 Hard Drive Power Up 17 G?? LED B 18 Vcc (+5Volts) 19 G?? LED A 20 - 40 Sound connections A guess at GLEDA and B would be the earth points for the LEDs and the second Keyboard power (11) would do for the power LED. A multimeter would be the best test once you could have the ability to start it up. What earth would be good for the power and restart? would the 2 below work for the grounds fot the power and restart? 10 Keyboard Ground 13 FP ground (Common Ground)
Given up trying to get a psu as nun in New Zealand getting one from overseas just cost soooooo much the rip offs. So going to just buy a good psu and mod it found this in the mobo manual. This is what the Shuttle PC55 450w PSU looks like.
