I'm having some issues with a server and the next thing I'm trying is replacing the power supply. We had someone else build the server with the components we bought and I realized that only 28 pins of the 32 pins for power on the motherboard are occupied. I hadn't realized that was a possibility, could that have any relation to power issues the server could be having? Is it alright if the power supply I replace it with is also only 28 pin or should I make sure to find one that has 32 pins?
The power supply, chassis and motherboard were bought as a unit (ASUS rs100-e9-pi2) so I guess what I'm really asking is should the replacement PSU also be 28 or would 32 be better. I'm planning to get one with higher wattage, something like this https://www.newegg.ca/athena-power-ap-mfatx30p8-300w-flexatx/p/N82E16817338053
