I am trying to be non-destructive since this is a rare piece of equipment. So I would prefer to put in something entirely new in and preserve the original hardware in case something goes wrong.
Any chance to replace the whole PSU and then going full tilt modifying the replacement? I only see one offer for 400-5494-91 (400€!!) so maybe any other in that form factor? Seems to be mostly standard PC connectors on these, but not sure from the pics I can find.
One possiblity would be to cut the original cable and add a new connector to both sides. A female one to the one that goes to the board, and a male one to the one on the fan.
That way you have all the original parts still there, but you can use the one part of the cable as an adapter.
