Is the power cable required? I need to install in 1RU Dell server, and there is no good way to power to the back of the chassis.

No it is not required. It is only required if you want to power any devices threw your USB ports on this card. Typical flash drives do not require port, but you may need power for some external disk drives that you don't wish to unitize their own external power adapters.

We also installed it in a 1RU Dell server and in our case it did not require the power cable.

Yes, If you can not find where to plug in to, you need to split power off of a existing power connection of A hard drive or CD/DVD - ROM drive, Splitter cables are available, match to drive closes to location of board. I do not know the physical lay out or what type of drives are in your machine. type of drives are IDE, SATA The connector used on this board is for 3.5 floppy so you may have to go from Hard drive power to floppy power.

No. It's powered by the pcie connection. It has an optional power supply adapter, but its not necessary.

No, it doesn't. Power supply must be ordered separately... I think the manufacturer expects you to use "Power Over Ethernet" (or it's an excuse to not include one...)

You can put a retail PSU in it rather than having to buy the Dell replacement. Mine has the 305W, but you can put in anything bigger, especially if you want to add a video card or plug in several USB powered devices.

No direct connection to power supply necessary or possible. Whether your existing power supply will be adequate is more a question of how many hard drives and other components are powered by it.

No. You must purchase a Power Supply separately. Choose according to your specific needs. Be prepared to add power cable extensions - the case is large.

I am not sure what you mean by 'connect this to a server'. Think of this as a PC case. You still have to add a motherboard, power supply, etc. just as if you were making a tower desktop. The only difference with this case is that you need to connect the SAS backplanes of this to the motherboard. This is done with SFF-8087 forward breakout cables from HBA or RAID cards or SFF-8087 reverse breakout cables from SATA/SAS ports on the motherboard itself.

No and I wish I would have asked that question. You can purchase one separately and install (at least that's what was told to my by Dell).

Mine didn't, it is plugged into the monitor which provides the power. It's perfect for my setup. I think there's another version of this out there somewhere which has the power supply though, I am pretty sure I saw it when I was shopping for this.

Devin W, The chassis accepts standard ATX size power supplies. Please be aware that proper installation, of a new power supply or any other component, that does not damage the system will *not* void your warranty.

Magaly, The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. The server will work with only one power supply connected. The second power supply is for redundancy in case one of the two power supplies ever fails, your server wont just suddenly shut down.

The cable you see in the picture. Your power supply (inside the computer) should have some extra plugs.

The power supply is fine for the unit as is, unless you decide to upgrade something like the graphics card. That would necessitate a power supply upgrade as well.

AC adapter is included. You should be able to download the correct driver to primt to a Dell primter, no.problem.

No there is not a power supply with it but I consider that a good thing. Keeps the price lower and allows me to buy on that fits my needs. Like a 500 watt wouldn't be nearly enough for my build but might be for yours. If it came with a stock PS it'd probably just end up another unused spare in the back of the closet.

The one issue you may have is the power supply in the dell may not have the standard 24 pin motherboard power plus the 8 pin for CPU power. Double check that it has the right connectors and the power output is correct.

I don't quite know... You should probably ask the cooler master people via email. Personally, running this without the power adapter doesn't work for me.... But I haven't even tried. Though this is a good question I'm interested in finding out about... If I find an answer, I will post it here.
