Page 62: 14.12.3 Using The Auxiliary Power Cable
One Stop Systems 14.12.3 Using the Auxiliary Power Cable When using a PCIe card such an FPGA GPU cards that requires additional power, you may need auxiliary power cables . Depending on the power requirement of your PCIe card, it will have a different built-in aux power port in which you attach the aux power cable. A PCIe slot provides 75 watts of slot power, which is not enough to meet the power requirement for a high-end add-in card with power consumption. - Page 63 One Stop Systems The photo below is an example of a PCIe card that has an 8pin power connector. You need one 8-pin aux cable to provide extra power. Each PCIe x16 slot on the backplane provides 75 Watts of power which is adequate for most video cards. But a high-end GPU cards usually need more power.
