PC PSU mod.

Thinking about power saving?
Here's a easy hack fore your PC PSU that can turn off your screen, printer, network switch.. etc.


First you take the PSU out of your PC.

The PSU

Find the parts you need:
Power out connector and solid state relay.
I made a nice littel PCB whit UV LED's fore my solid state relay.

The parts you need

Then you need to find the right voltages.

PSU Pinout

First you need to find 5V (red) and GND (black).
Then solder a wire to each. The yellow and blue wire is +12V and -12V to make 24v whitce i needed for a bigger fan.

5V and GND wire

Whit the PCB out it is essayer to install the power out connector.
When it's done and the PCB is back in it should look kinda like this.

Power out

Connect the 5V and GND to the solid state relay input and power to the output.
Mack shur that you connect the power right so it doesn't short circuit when the solidstatrelay is activated.

Connecting the power

Before putting the solidstaterelay in to the PSU make shur it is good isolated.

Isolation

You should test the PSU before putting the cover back on.
You can do that by putting a jumper betvin PS_ON# (green) and GND (black).

Testing the PSU

If it's all good put the PSU back together and you are good to go.

Done
