Adapter to mount Retail PSU in Z210CMT Workstation?

[yourforum]

Hello there,

i would like to know if there is ANY solution to use ATX PSU with HP Z210

this has been discussed here:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/Adapter-to-mount-R...

but no solution is mentioned for

Z210CMT in particular

i read that there are adapters for Z230 and so on but i specifically need something, a solution for Z10

Can you please advice ? i have old workstation i would need to use a new PSU with

your only choice is to locate a person skilled in tracing out the existing power supply leads and corectly determining the required amperage/voltages on each pin and then making a custom adapter wiring harness and possibly a small circuit board for several lines that may have non standard signals on them if the ebay link below does not work

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATX-PSU-24Pin-to-Motherboard-18Pin-Power-Supply-Cable-30cm-18AWG-for-HP-z21...

finding such a person will not be easy, and the labor to do the above will most likely not be cheap

bottom line, buy a system that does support ATX standards if you plan to modify or customize a system, in the long run it's usually the same (or lower) cost and without the hassles of having custom work done

the hp service manual for the z210 (page 158) does list the power supply pinouts, be advised that trying to use a z420/640 18 pin adapter will not work, as the z210 wiring is slightly diffrent (you may be able to rewire it to match the z210's needs)

Thank you, this puts Z210 in its own category i guess.

Might be easier for me to try and source a replacement 400w PSU i think

i suspect you did not take the time to FULLY READ what i wrote,...the ebay link is for a z210 18 pin to atx 24 pin power supply adapter

go back to my original post, and fully read it

[yourforum]

What i meant above is that my ony practical resource is this, am already looking for a replacement Z210 PSU

[DGroves]

and again,...huh??? the adapter i linked to IS SPECIFICALY FOR THE Z210 AND NO OTHER MODEL,.. and fufills your posted request of allowing a standard ATX power supply to be used instead of the unique HP supply.

Hello there,

which ebay link are you referring to ? i noticed a couple links from amazon mentioning they will not work with Z210

please share this again here so we may have this thread closed as well

there is only one ebay link in all of my posts on this thread, and if you can't find it then i politely point out that you really are not looking that hard

[yourforum]

I did not even notice lol

it would be easier to notice if that link was placed as a solution but i only read through the first part

I guess there are 10 kind of helpful fellas in binary, those who respond with the solution and those who mention it in the end lol

thanks a lot  !!!
