Help: PSU for DELL Workstation T5600

[ahmednislam]

I recently heard a large pop sound coming off my T5600 PSU and since then it will not turn on. I am wanting to buy a PSU but preferably a T7600 or T7610 PSU, since it is a little cheaper from what I am seeing. Does anyone know if either of these PSU's are compatible with the T5600?Please help !!!

If it's a full tower design, you might be able to install a standard atx power supply.

Thanks for your reply !!! But Dell have their own hot swap-able PSU that connects to another circuit board !!! Not sure how to get around with that 🙁

You might consult the Dell owners manual. Dell would sell those with 1CPU,2CPU, and 1 GPU or 2 GPU combinations. There was usually a bigger PSU option available, but you need the matching wiring harness to get the extra connectors. Dell didn't use ATX PSUs in that series.
Page 60 shows the 2 options.

The T7600 shows a 1000W PSU, but Dell makes the wiring harness to match each system and the 7600 uses a special 20 pin connector on the harness.

Oh I see. When I searched it before, I think I found images of a system that look similar to some we've got at work.
