    hi guys as title says i have a old hp dl380 g6 server and i need to use it for renderings but i have one problem, some of servers dont have 6/8pin power outs for graphic cards,mine dont have it too.
    with that in mind i bought a saphire 5450 low profile (no power pins) just for high quality remote and opneGL required apps. but the 5450 didnt make it a week, i send i for warranty and if new replacement have same problem im in a big trouble.

    here is problem
    i have too buy a new graphic card gtx 650 this card have 6pin power pin my concern is the power supply for this card.
    my plan is to buy a 250-350w psu but how sync the server boot and external psu start ups.

    in pc you can short the psu from the motherboard in SERVERs i dont know how to do it.????

    so guys if any body have khonelage in this area please help.

    note
    i find a empty 10pin power out on servers MB for hot plug hards and raid controler.
    is that possible tho get power from that for graphic card.


    sorry for long text and bad english.

    Thankyou.

    With the motherboard large connector of the PSU you will need to have the clamping retainer facing you. (See picture, you need to have this side facing you)
    Find the green wire on the connector, its facing you close to the middle.
    You need to short this green wire to the black wire next to it on the clamping retainers side.
    Let me know if you need more informations

    is that possible tho get power from that for graphic card.
    Short answer if you don't have electrician skills is NO...
