The ATX 3.1 standard power supply with a new connector for a video card, 12V-2x6, with which you can not worry that the computer will burst into flames during the game. The power supply itself is assembled on Japanese capacitors and has a hybrid mode for silent operation in office tasks. A year or two ago, when choosing a power supply unit, we paid attention to the element base, manufacturers of capacitors and a fan, and as a weighty argument we looked at the warranty, which reaches a crazy ...

The 80 Plus Platinum standard is gradually entering the top segment of home computers and workstations. Hand on heart, we can immediately say that there is nothing particularly new in it – both "platinum" and "titanium" have been used in server equipment almost since the appearance of the 80 Plus certificates themselves, and as a rule, such power supplies have been nursed for 10+ years without problems, even in very problematic conditions when there is dust all around, fans ...

Of the most significant points, I would like to note the overload, which for a short time can exceed the nominal value by as much as three times! Naturally, this required completely redesigning the design of the power supply, making it more complicated and more expensive. In the spring of 2022, Intel introduced a new ATX 3.0 power supply standard, which in the next decade will become decisive for motherboards, power supplies and video cards. The introduction of new power requirements was due ...

Earthquake-resistant server cabinets are usually used in areas with high seismic activity, where earthquakes can damage equipment or cause critical system failures. They are vibration-resistant structures capable of withstanding strong shocks and sudden changes in load, which can save the operation of servers and related systems in a critical situation. Earthquake-resistant server cabinets are usually used in areas with high seismic activity, where earthquakes can damage equipment or cause ...

The main problem of data centers is that the equipment in them must function 24 hours a day, providing service to customers, otherwise they will simply leave, throwing lawsuits at last. It cannot be turned off or moved to another place for a while, while over the past 20 years enough experience has accumulated to understand what you need to be ready for.

PDUs with remote disconnection of sockets and groups of sockets, which are often called switchable PDUs, provide remote control of sockets and groups of sockets, allowing operators to quickly overload hung devices, block their activation, turn off excess power at peak loads and balance the load between phases in 3-phase networks by monitoring and disconnecting sockets. PDU (Power Distribution Unit), they are also power distributors, or power distributors, sometimes socket blocks, but this is ...

Technologies are so advanced today that there are many tools for monitoring server racks and the entire computing infrastructure of a small enterprise. These systems also allow you to optimize energy use, manage backup power and control cooling. A server rack is a miniature ecosystem with its own climate, its own electrical part, as well as its own security and protection facilities. But how to ensure the proper functioning of the rack and early troubleshooting? The solution is monitoring ...

The power supply is a critical component of the server, on which not only the stability of operation depends, but also the operating costs. What types of server PSUs are used today and how to choose a power model. Server power supplies, which are used to provide power to server components, have various parameters, such as power, current, and voltage. Depending on the type of server enclosure and its capacity, power supplies are divided into different categories. Conventional ATX power ...
