Abstract

A power supply unit includes an enclosure, a circuit board, a power interface, and a cable. The enclosure defines an opening in an end of the enclosure. The circuit board is mounted in the enclosure. The power interface is electrically connected to the circuit board, near the opening, to output DC voltages. The power interface includes a number of first pins facing the opening. The cable includes a plug at an end of the cable. The first pins of the power interface are detachably plugged into the plug.
