    Production M2426 - Evolution in Cable Management

    Update time, finally! Got the JST connector I needed to connect the SATA SSD. As it's not my main build, I didn't want to splurge this time on another NVME drive so used a spare SATA I had. Plus the mb I'm using has the nvme slot on the rear, not great I suspect for heat in this type of build...

    Production M2426 - Evolution in Cable Management

    Quick update. My shipment of JST connectors was delayed so I've still not been able to connect up the SSD yet. I did however get my hands on some dupont wires for the PS_ON and 5V connections. The female plugs each need sanding down on two sides to allow them to fit into the connector on the...

    Production M2426 - Evolution in Cable Management

    Swapped the PS_ON wire, tested as directed - success. Tested with M2426 in PC - success. Test rig #1 tested and fully working. Will proceed to test rig #2 with separate GPU power tomorrow Jan 2nd. Many thanks, this is coming along nicely. 👍 :) So, pin #1 on the M2426 is required for PS_ON to...

    First attempt to power on was not successful. On switching on at the mains, the RPS-400-12 LED comes on, as does the 5VSB LED on the M2426, and the CPU fan spins. It stays in that state indefinitely, and a USB keyboard I have plugged in is also receiving power (its LEDs are lit). Pressing the PC...

    Many thanks for that confirmation! 👍 I'd left that one off the diagram deliberately as I'm struggling to source the TKP terminals and DH2L-2x2 connector, so haven't built that yet. 😩 Everything else I'd illustrated I've already completed (and I'm equally suprised and delighted to find I wasn't...

    Merry Christmas, all! Right, so I received an M2426 a few months ago, but I've been too busy with work while we manage the impact COVID's having. :( Finally got round to looking at it yesterday. I'm extremely conscious that this is my first foray into this so I'm likely to be making mistakes...

    Understood, I'll be patient! :) Also, a big thanks for how quickly you reply to everything, I'm finding you (and most others on this forum) extremely helpful and I'm grateful.

    Which PSU adapter variant ought I selected, if I'm going to be pairing it with an RPS-400-12? Can I assume that it doesn't matter (bar price difference) as I'll only be cannibalising one end anyway? Also, it seems like the picture that displays for the "CPU Power Connector" is always for the SF...

    I also just noticed that the RPS-400-12 is 35mm high, with the RPS-400-12-C being 43mm high (as well as a little bit bigger in the other two dimensions than its non-enclosed cousin). My two K39s arrived today, one red, one black. And I was right ... they *are* both whimpering for an internal...

    That's the plan ... well, Plan A at least. You'll see me posting for help when I get past Plan H ... ;)

    This is the gallery that makes me confident enough to give it a go: https://imgur.com/r/sffpc/pGvkQXI There's a clear gap above the Flex, and the cable routing would still work round the shorter RPS-400 I'd expect. Plus, the issue would be the spine first, before the motherboard by the looks of...

    If I were to order a Nova1024 via Superbuy, bhiner, etc. - can anyone confirm that I need to add what I presume is the riser (the "ADT import wire extension cord"?) separately, or is one included when selecting the case 'Package A' option? Even with the translations given by the shipping agents...
