Has anyone come up with a way to get power to a TDM400P card installed in a Dell PowerEdge 1750?

There are no drive power connectors anywhere, and you can't steal power from a fan connector because they are all monitored (and probably not enough current anyway).
> Has anyone come up with a way to get power to a TDM400P card installed > in a Dell PowerEdge 1750?The TDM card only needs the external power connector "if" fxs modules are installed. The fxo modules don't use it that power. If fxs modules are present, only the 12 volt lead is used. Therefore creating your own single-wire jumper from another 12 volt source anywhere in the system should be relatively easy.
I thought the TDM was "broke" on 1750's...?? I could never get passed that NMI issue. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Adamson [mailto:radamson@routers.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 9:38 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell 1750 & TDM400P - Power> Has anyone come up with a way to get power to a TDM400P card installed> in a Dell PowerEdge 1750?The TDM card only needs the external power connector "if" fxs modules are installed.

Short of finding somewhere to tap 12v off the board that 1) would'nt make the danged thing beep and 2) voiding the warrantee cdrom??) , I'd just juryrig an external 12v supply along the lines of http://www.soekris.com/PowerAccessories.htm. I'm assumong the tdm400p only taps the 12V for RI and not the 5v .......

Adam, I've used an SCA 80-pin to SCSI HD68 adapter that also breaks out a standard power connector. You'll also need a short SCA cable to connect the adapter to the SCA connector as well as a standard power cable to connect between the adapter and the TDM400P. Just google for SCA SCSI adapter and you'll find lot's of places have these things. This assumes that you aren't using all of your hot-swap drive bays.

On my 800, loading the TDM modules the first time causes an NMI, but it seems to be harmless. Wish I could make that front panel light stop blinking, though. ;)
I think that the best solution I found is to use a standard ATX power supply externally and jumper/switch the green and black connectors on the 20-pin Molex connector to simulate the case/motherboard power switch. I can then snake in the output power cable with the 4-pin connector to the TDM400P. Anyone think this won't work? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Bill Carroll Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 4:34 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Dell 1750 & TDM400P - Power Adam, I've used an SCA 80-pin to SCSI HD68 adapter that also breaks out a standard power connector.

As in a female molex hidden away for the possible addition of a tape-streamer? If so, just get a Y-molex (You know, a splitter to power to drives) and plug the females into the connectors, and leave the male hanging loose.
