HP DL580 G3 PSU 1300W Conversion to 13.8v PSU

Hi Electrical Geniuses, I am in need of some help. I have looked elsewhere, and can not find the concrete path of doing something the right way.
I have purchased a Server PSU, to convert the output to 13.8v PSU. But I also want to add a Power Switch with a Current and Voltage Adjustable Potentiometer.  I am aware that there is a Over Voltage Shut down on this too. But I am hoping that someone who has done this can guide me along my journey. Below is the Model and Make of the PSU.

- Hp DL580 G3 1300W PSU
- Model or Part Number DS1300-3
- Part Number 337867-501
- Spare number 406421-001

I have attached Pictures of others modifying this, but I want to put this PSU into a little Wooden or Plastic box. Have a on Switch on the Outside, and Have a Digital Multimeter Screen on the Outside where I can adjust the Current and Voltage.

These can be adjusted to 13.8 volts and can push out 106 Amps at 230V. But I will not be using more than 70Amp current.

I can not find any schematics on the circuit etc. I am very handy with electrical devices, but before I go ahead and go through hours of probing I thought I may ask you wizards for assistance.

Many Thanks

Come on guys there must be some electrical genius out there to help me with this, I am willing to pay a small fee via paypal as a gift if you can help me achieve my goal here

What des it normally chuck out? 48V?

You need to remember these devices are designed to do one thing only, the designed output voltage. Do you really think the output windings and output caps can handle the extra current and ripple? The list goes on.

Hacking about with a 1.3Kw PSU is only going to lead to disaster.

This chucks out 12v. It is rated at 106A with input of 230v. All i really want is to get 13.8v stable with 70amps. The rest like a potentiometer etc is not obligatory

Can't make out the, huh, thumbnails of thumbnails.  Don't know what's being shown there.

I guess you need someone with particular knowledge of this unit?  If this thread keeps bumping, you may get lucky and someone runs across it that knows; otherwise, it would seem you'll have to take it on by yourself (or significantly increase your reward bounty..). :-//

Good luck,
Tim
