Hi Florian,
> do the tyans not use standard psu's?
Both Tyan and MSI have their own PSU's for the different server chassis. Sure,
they provide standard voltage, so you could fit any PSU as a replacement if
yours goes bad. Except that you might have troubles mechanically fitting a
not original PSU replacement into the actual chassis. Different fan
placement, different screw holes, etc. On top of that a non-standard PSU
might alter the air flow inside the chassis, which could lead to undesireable
results with high end CPUs.
What I meant in my message was that I have had lots of troubles getting an
original Tyan PSU replacement from my vendors. The quoted price was about 60%
of what a new chassis would cost and the delivery time estimate was six
weeks.
With MSI instead I've had no troubles getting parts - any parts for that
matter - not just PSU's.
