HP Z600 | PSU Pin Layout

[Mod_Builder]

I have a bad HP Z600 PSU. It looks like the PWM chip has gone bad and its difficult to replace. I instead would like to hack the ATX PSU inside the stock Z600 PSU to keep the same look of the PC. Z600 has Array of output connectors coming out from the middle of the PSU as shown in the figure. 

I would like to know if it is possible to get pin-out voltages on the connectors as shown? I intend to use the same wiring loom inside the PSU to integrate the ATX PSU inside the stock cover.

there is a saying that you can make a toaster fly if you spend enough money

the translation is that sometimes it's cheaper to just buy a plane

i think the above applies here as used z600 power supplies can be sourced quite cheaply on ebay and in my opinion is the best course

the time and tools needed to rewire a ATX supply for z600 use is rather intensive and i suspect most people would rather not reinvent the wheel

note to other readers,........

you can also simply buy a AXT supply to z600 adapter cable for around 14 us dollars

@DGroves, there is a community of modders who dont like to throw away things and like to reuse/recycle stuff as much. Its also environmentally sound thing to do despite how cheap it is to buy the new. Thus I am more interested to know the pin-out information as provided in this similar question :

you run the risk of damaging your motherboard and power supply...............but it's your system so do what you want

i'm also surprised a "modder" like you is unaware of the "HP z600 service manual" which does list all of the pinouts

@DGroves, Yes there is always a risk with such make-shift stuff. I did look into the service manual before posting the question. The pinout there is for P1, P2, P3 cables, on the mobo side and not the one that hooks to PSU. There is a hard way to open the back cover of the Casing to see how wires are routed (backtracing from P1,P2,P3 to PSU connector). This is why I asked this question to prevent potentially unnecessary opening of the casing.

I really need your help if there is an information out there on the PSU side pinouts. 

thanks

so, use a multimeter to pinout the voltages, if you don't know how to do this safely on the z600 supply then again i stress your might want to reconsider this project

@DGroves, the reason for the whole project is that the power-supply is bad. You earlier suggested replacing power supply and now asking to check the voltages using multimeter. 

Looks like there is no pinout information on the PSU online. I am quite demotivated, I was asking for genuine help.

just because you didn't get the answer you wanted is no reason for you to complain that you didn't receive any help

you were told that simply replacing the supply was the best course, you then stated that you were a modder and wanted to spend the time/money to fit the atx supply, now you state that you are unwilling to buy a working supply (which is cheap on ebay) and use a multimeter to pinout the voltages

seems to me you want to do this for almost no effort or money on your part which brings us back to my original statement that simply replacing the supply is the best way to go.......................................

@DGroves I am not complaining. I am just giving out my views. I dont think you understand that it not about being cheap. If you suggest that buying a working power supply and use multi-meter to determine the voltage to do the retro-fiting of ATX, then I might simply remove the back cover and backtrace the wiring. Wouldnt it sound more logical then buying another PSU? I already told you that its more of a hobby to fix "Stuff" and use "available" resources. Retro community wont exist if you had to purchase same parts instead of making use of generic parts lying around.

Anyways there is no point in arguing.

I am accepting your answer and thanks for your valuable input.
