HP ProLiant ML350 G6 Servers
Graphics card power cable kit
Installation Instructions
Overview
This document provides instructions for installing power cables to
support high-power graphics cards.
Before installing a high-power graphics card in the server, be sure
that the power supplies support the installation of the card. Because
of the high power requirements for the card, a 750-W or higher
power supply may be required. For more information, see the HP
Enterprise Configurator website
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/).
To determine power requirements for supported options, use the
power calculator located at the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/servers/powercalculator).
