Plugs for Switching Power Supply

GA for a 100% correct answer, nobody else needs to post really!!!

Andy,

quite right sir, but a second GA bumps this answer to the correct setting. Nice Job

Andy I give you a GA for realizing his GA was a GA. in spite of his GA others decided they needed to give the same GA in the hopes that they would receive a GA.

Can you still get PSU's that will disconnect power to your monitor when you shut down the system?

I know the older PSU's that have the switch on the back or side switched out the Aux socket, but what about the newer ATX PSU's?

Do they have the extra cct inside to switch out the Aux socket included?

Snaketails,

Yes, they are still around, but you have to look for them.

I've found them as After Market as replacements or in some towers or mini-towers.

I've also salvaged a couple from older machines that are not being used.

Welcome.

Well done for registering, and welcome.

Maybe if you supply a picture, this would help in your diagnosis.

Remember, a Picture gives more understanding than words alone ;o)

Dear MJWoody1,

On some older models, the monitor plugged into the computer. I am not sure if that is the case here, but at least it is worth mentioning.

Respectfully Yours,

Hmmm. I was under impression that he was referring to two OUTPUT connectors, where one would be of the ATX (dual row) and other of the older platform. If his motherboard is ATX, then just plug in the dual row connector.

Hi,

I like this answer. The 2 plugs are both the sameand a moniter plug wouln't match the feale power plugs. Which plug should I use to get power for my PC ?

Bill,

How would know witch one is the dual row connecttor?

Woody

PSU having 2, 1 Plug & 1 Socket.

Plug [having pins visible] is AC-Power-Input plug accepting a Female Power-socket.

Forsafety reasons if you un-plug any of the cable end there should be no Shock danger.

The other is Out-let Socket normally for Display [Monitor]

Some early PSU had also a Switch; & some may have a preset-Switch for 110/220V

selection.

Hi,

Maybe I'm not making myself clear. The outlets on the Power Supply are both the same. There are both female. A moniter plug would not fit. It's just like having 2 plugs and they look like the one plug that most power supply's'.

It says made in China so maybe if a member is Chinese they could help out.

Also I was wondering what would happened if I pluged both in, probably fry my PC. :)

You would be an easy answser out on the net, but I searched for 6 months mysel before I joined your forum

mjwoody1 or woody

For monitor there is a IEC Standard 3pin plug to fit in PSU Socket; not the normal Mains Plug.

With 2 Female Sockets I have not encountered with such a PSU.

If there are then PSU may have Power cable permanently fixed in & 3 female socket for 3 monitors.

can you send a view image of this back panel?

regards

Woody,

Without a picture, I can't be sure...but you may ahave a dual corded PC.

This means two power supplies to the DC bus so if you loose a power supply the other one will keep you going.

If you post the PC model number and\or a photo I can tell you for sure.
