  • Once all the server juice has been filtered by the power filter, its gets converted to the correct voltage by the power converter.

  • The power converter is actually two identical modules stacked on top of each other, using the standoffs between them as a power relay.

  • The output of the power supply is 12 volts, 40 amps, for a whopping 480 watts.

  • As for chips, we find:

  • STMicroelectronics LM339 quad voltage comparator

  • Renesas (formerly Intersil) HIP2100 high frequency half-bridge driver

  • Texas Instruments (formerly Unitrode) UCC2808-1 low power PWM controller

  • Renesas (formerly NEC) PS2701-1 optocoupler
