Power supply sorting is done in System Evaluation.
Triage Chart
Testing Power Supplies
Use a standard ATX power supply tester for a 20 pin ATX power supply.
For each power supply that needs to be tested, do these things:
- Plug each power supply into outlet
- If there is a rear power supply switch, make sure it is turned on.
- Connect the tester to the 20 pin ATX connector
- Check lights (all lights on is good, but it is also OK if the -5V light is off)
- Connect the tester to the 4 pin ATX connector
- Check to see if the +12V light is on
What to do when done, where to put them
- Keepers
- Mark them OK in a corner on the side where the wires come out with a sharpie.
- Use small letters. These are likely going to be sold and customers don't want them all marked up.
- Put them on the POWER SUPPLIES TO KEEP shelf
- Recycle
- Mark them LARGE frowny face somewhere with a sharpie. Go ahead and be creative if you want.
- Take them to the warehouse and put them in the POWER SUPPLIES TO RECYCLE location
