Could someone explain what are the options to power the HDPlex 800W DC-ATX adapter?

s it possible to use a conventional (nonlinear) PC power supply to do this? Such as my Seasonic 400W fanless platinum PSU?

not able to find the 800w dc-Atx on hdplex website...

Hello, i hope i post in the right thread, anyway, i assume the experts are here.

I’m running a PC with a Supermicro X11SCH-F / Xeon E-2136 under windows 2019. The MB is powered by a HDPLEX DC/ATX 800W powered by 2 Keces P8 : a 19/20V and a 19/12V. 

The 2 rails of Keces P8 are connected to group 1 and Group 2 of the HDPLEX and the 12V of the Keces is connected to the 8Pin cpu connector of the MB.

I have been surprised to see that no current was pulled from the Keces on the 12V of the CPU Connector. So i decided to remove the 8 pin connector and the MB is booting fine while the manual is saying that the 24 AND the 8 pins connectors need to be powered.

 

Do you see any rationale behind that ?

 

Thanks for your expertise.
