Here's some information on your power supply (from the Microwave email list).
Since I wrote this, I powered up mine successfully. I haven't done anything
with it yet, though, other than load test it. I might have had to connect
different
pins to power it up, I'll check later. Apparently the voltage can be adjusted
via the I2C bus, but I don't know if anybody's figured out exactly how to do
that. I haven't seen a schematic available, either. If you figure out how to
turn
the voltage down, please let me know.
For load testing, I bought two of the supplies, wired them in series, and ran
the
102V to a oil-filled space heater (no fan). It got nice and toasty!

I bought one of these. It has the same HP part numbers you mentioned
below, but the connectors are different than what's depicted in the .pdf
you mentioned.
After some sleuthing, I belive I found the pin-outs here:
http://www.powerconversion.com/assets/datasheets/bulk/hps3kw.pdf
I haven't tried the smoke-test yet. Mine has a bit of what looks like
soot by the fans so I suspect it was in a data center fire. No components
look burnt and it smells OK but I guess that's why it was only $10.
Computers with soot in them are considered unreliable so a bunch were
probably scrapped even though they were still operational after the fire.
Should be OK for intermittent ham use.
Hope this helps,
