I am trying to install a Nvidia tesla v100 (pci-e) into a PowerEdge r7425. The tesla v100 has a 8 port to a 8/8. The PowerEdge has a board to a 6 + 2 / 6 connector. Does anyone know what cable I need to use the v100 or do I even need a cable?
The first thing to consider is whether your power supply is sufficient. When using a system with Gpus, ensure that a PSU of 1100 W or higher power is installed and that the PSU configuration is set to non-redundant mode. GPU needs independent power supply, so an 8-pin power supply cable is required, which needs to be purchased from DELL, I can't find the corresponding cable on Amazon!
Actually further investigation leads me to see the R7425 does not have a 12 port gpu power pin on the motherboard. At least not in the area of the gpu power connectors. I need a GPU Power Cable motherboard 6 pin to a two 6+2, do you happen to have a link for that or a part number?
@bronsontaylor Your DELL server is the 14th generation, Dell-Young E to find you the cable is suitable for the 15th generation server! So it's not appropriate. I found something close, but you'd better take a picture of the power cord connector on the motherboard and see if it works!
