This has probably been asked 1000 times but, can a desktop power supply be used on a server MB?

[Gatecrasher3000]

At my job, I have been tasked with building an ESXi test system, and I would like to build into a tower case.
However, my only question I'm unsure of is: can a regular desktop power supply be used on a server motherboard?

Here are the specs of the system I am looking at getting:
The Motherboard - https://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/EPYC7000/H11DSi-NT.cfm
The PSU - https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139204
The case - https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC8X6KW0951

Now, I see each of the mobo and the PSU use a 24pin ATX connection, and two 8pin connections.
However, I don't know if the pin placement is the same, and really don't want to just 'wing it', however I'm sure the plug would not even fit if there was an issue.

Anyways, if any of you guys could shed some light on this question, that would be super helpful.
Thank you.


*and yes, I did search for this answer before posting, but could not find what I needed

Assuming the power requirements are met, connector volts, and the pins match up.. go nuts. Probably not a good 'long term fix'..

Why would you want to put it into a tower case?

"and the pins match up" haha yeah that is the problem, I can only assume the pins should match up, but I'm not 100% they will, I can only hope.

And its going in a tower case because it will be sitting under the users desk, as he needs local access to it, plus our racks are full lol.

I mean.. you act like you don't have some 2x4s and a few nails? Look it has wheels!

The manual may help. Page 39.

At worst maybe snag a few 8 pin power converter cables and try it out.

The manual doesn't list any special PSU requirements which leads me to be 99.999% sure that it uses a standard ATX power supply.

You can always call SuperMicro and ask them though. They are the ones that would know for sure.

Only thing you need that is slightly different is two EPS connectors but even those are common on larger capacity ATX/EPS power supplies.
