Pin layouts of hardware
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/07/28
This is yet another post of some information I wish I had known years ago.
AllPinouts: a site that lists pin layouts of common and not so common hardware.
When writing this, the site had Statistics indicating over 3500 pages and close to 1000 pin layouts.
Layouts include cables and connectors for audio, video, computing and much much more.
These were the pin layouts I needed:
- PC Floppy Power 3.5″ – AllPinouts.
- Motherboard (CPU) 3 Pin Fan Connector – AllPinouts.
- Motherboard (CPU) 4 Pin Fan – AllPinouts.
I found the 3 and 4 pin layouts also on this page: Desktop Boards — 3-wire and 4-wire fan connectors.
Another site with lots of Power Connectors is Toms Hardware. A good starting page is Additional Power Connectors: Peripheral, Floppy, And SATA – Power Supply 101: A Reference Of Specifications.
The reason I needed it was to add a front case fan to a couple of HP XW6600 workstations in order to improve cooling.
Both 80mm and 92mm fans will fit.
A couple of links:
- HP Communities – XW8600 Drive Support – Enterprise Business Community.
- Noctua.at – sound-optimised premium components “Designed in Austria”!.
- Dutch princing information of 92mm Noctua fans (non-PWM are more expensive than PWM): Noctua – Prijzen en Specificaties – Tweakers.
