NMB Minebea reckons it can solve the question of which power supply is compatible with which motherboard.

NMB Minebea reckons it can solve the question of which power supply is compatible with which motherboard.

A "motherboard compatibility guide" on Minebea's US website (www.nmbtc.com) provides professional support on which power supply works smoothly with which Intel, MSI, Tyan, Asus etc motherboard.

Minebea's IT002 and SD026 products are especially suitable for usage with MSI motherboards.

The IT002A power supply is designed for use in the mid-range workstation market.

This model features two separate SELV compliant 12V outputs and is compatible for use in systems with motherboards that use Intel Xeon (860) processors.

In addition, the IT002A power supply is rated at 430W and has sufficient power rating to support large PCI and memory integrations.

Features include a special pin assignment to fit WTX guidelines and a standard PS2 faceplate and mountings, ensuring compatibility with the majority of general-purpose system chassis on the market.

NMB's SD026A power supply is designed for use in the entry network server markets.

It features three separate 12V outputs and is designed for use in systems with motherboards that use multiple processors, large memory arrays and high speed drives.

It is compatible with Intel's SSI-EPS12V guidelines, and has a standard PS2 faceplate and mountings, ensuring compatibility with the majority of general purpose system chassis on the market.

The IT002A power supply features five main outputs and a 5V auxiliary output, SD026 features six main outputs and a 5V auxiliary output.

The biggest advantage over competitors' products is that both models offer optimal performance with no crossregulation or combined load limitations.

An additional feature of both models is improved system acoustic performance.

This is achieved by lower operating temperature of critical components, allowing the fan to run slower for a given load.

Both the IT002A and SD026A feature low noise 80mm NMB ball-bearing fans.

The power supplies meet the requirements of EN61000-3-2 for limited harmonics (PFC) and all UL1950 3rd Edition, 22.2 No 234 and TUV EN60950, FCC part 15 class B, and CE requirements.

The calculated MTBF for these power supplies exceed 200kh.
