Powering a RTX GPU for a HP ML350 Gen10

[Mulawin Galang]

Hi all!

 

I currently got a HP ML350 Gen 10 Server and I want to use it as a workstation. It's all up and running except for a GPU. Now I'm planning to run an RTX2070 or RTX 2080 on this beast but I don't seem to have the proper cables (it doesn't have 8pin power plugs like those in normal PCs) to make this setup work. Is there a workaround for this - a cable that converts from the power supply or something?

 

This is my first time converting something like this to a workstation and hopefully there's a workaround for this.

 

Thanks! :)

If this Server is from your work, they could buy you an adapter or a new PSU

Hi! This was sold to me online by a company who's replacing their servers so I'm hoping to seek help here on what adapter or PSU I should buy to make this setup work.

Since these use hotswap PSUs, all you can use is the official HPE cables through the mainboard. If you got the non-hotswap PSU model, you're SOL as that 500W unit is all you can really use.
