Hello all,

I have acquired a decomissioned server from my employer and it seems to be a custom from Dell. The tag has some information on it, it is a Dell NEI E-2710 and there is not a lot of info online about this model. It did not come with power supplies, but came with everything else; I would like to use it to start my homelab.

It specifically shows ratings for -48 VDC on the power label, however I cannot find any DC power supplies anywhere online, even if I could I cannot power this in my home as it is. It appears take standard dell server power supplies that would fit in an R710 for example.

I guess my question is, can anyone tell me if I would be able to just buy a normal AC power supply and power this thing? Sorry if it is a silly question, I have done my own looking but I find some conflicting answers so figured I would ask here. Thanks in advance everyone!
