brettDid the scariest part of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/minirack" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#minirack</a> project today: setting up the power.<br><br>I replaced the 300w power supply in the server with a 600w one, discovering halfway through that I needed to build my own connector to fit the 14-pin motherboard power socket.<br><br>Then I ran extra 12v, 5v, and ground wires out the back and up the sides of the frame, and cut off the ends of the individual power supplies to wire them instead to the rack power.<br><br>The whole thing now runs off one powerpoint! I still need to do cable management, but there was no point in doing that until I knew my idea would work.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/homelab" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/minilab" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#minilab</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://brettiverse.com/tag/projects" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#projects</a>
