ATX 20 pin power to 8 & 6 pin PCIe?

[Ian_Wright]

Today I bought a dell poweredge 2950 II rackmount server from a surplus store. I'm considering trying to put a graphics card in it, for which there are many hurtles. My main concern at the moment is getting power to the card though pice 6 and/or 8 pin power connectors. The front of the unit has hot swap bays for SAS hard drives, which I do not intend to use. powering the back plane for these tray is a 20 pin ATX power connector.

Has anyone seen a conversion from ATX 20 pin to PCIe 6 or 8 pin power? if not seen, theoretically possible?

Uh, are you sure that is 20 pin ATX?

20 pin ATX is used for motherboards, and runs a bunch of voltages which are useless to hard drives.

It probably is a different 20 pin connector.

Look on the power supply, usually they have pics with pinouts.

if its not atx then they switched up a bunch of pins in the atx 20 pin connector, which is possible. the power supplies are hot swapable and go directly into the motherboard
