HP Power Supply 10 inch rack - HSTNS-PL18

HP Power Supply 10 Inch Rack
 

10 inch rack model for HP HSTNS-PL18 power supplies. 

Designed specifically for the LabRax dimensions. If you want to make changes, you can modify with my 10 inch rack generator. 

Note that this particular power supply has a variable speed fan. It is completely silent at low loads (less than a few hundred watts). It only makes noise when heat builds up. I've been running for months and have never heard it. 

Config parameters below
 

Assembly

 

1. Connect any sized resistor between pins 1 and 4 
2. Solder the red and black wires to the exposed PCB (+/Red on right)
3. Solder XT30 connectors to Power Supply
4. Solder JST wires connectors to connectors for 12-19v devices
5. Solder buck converter for 5v devices

Power
 

I've successfully tested this on multiple Intel Nuc and TPLink Switches and mini pcs which run at 19v and 12v . My intel Nuc happily run at 12v even though the original power adapters run at 19v. 

The 5v buck converts are good for a few amps which is plenty for small switches / fans or other accessories. Please perform your own calculations to not overload the buck converter.
