POWER SPECIFICATIONS
The Tesla C2050 / Tesla C2070 computing processor is a performance-optimized, high-
end board solution. Power is taken from the PCI Express host bus as well as the 8-pin
and the 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.
Without auxiliary power provided to the Tesla C2050 / Tesla C2070 board, the board will
boot at reduced power and functionality and LED lights on the board will light up as
listed in Table 5. This table outlines the different possible scenarios as well as the
resulting behaviors.
