My system is a P4304XXMUXX chassis with an S2600STB motherboard, 750W Intel PSU and a Xeon Gold 6148 (only 1 CPU so far)
I have a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 in the 5+6 PCI-e socket position.
The GPU uses 150W, but according to the S2600STB specs it only provides 75W on the PCI-e socket, thus I need to supply power to the PCI-e 8 pin connector on the GPU.
Of course the 750W PSU is no where near the limit so I should be able to provide the 150W to the GPU with appropriate cables.
The options I guess I have are:
1) Does Intel sell cables for this? The power board in the chassis has 5 unused 4 pin sockets - does Intel sell a cable to connect from these to the PCI-e 8 pin connector on the GPU?
I can't seem to find the details of the P4304XXMUXX power board anywhere showing the limits of the sockets.
2) Should I use a standard double molex to PCI-e 8 cable I can get online and run that off the available molex connectors in the front of the chassis?
I'm not sure of the power available from these. I currently only have two 256GB Samsumg SSDs connected to the molex leads at the front of the chassis.
3) Should I just make a cable myself? (yes this would be easy enough if I could find the specs of the limits of the 5 sockets on the chassis power board)
Thanks for any help on this.

Hi, Canno,
In regard to your question how to connect the Gigabyte* GeForce GTX 1070 to the Intel® Server Chassis P4304XXMUXX.
Gigabyte recommends to use a PSU of 500W, additionally, the GPU requires extra power using the 2x4 power connector.
More details at https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070G1-GAMING-8GD-rev-10# sp Gigabyte Specification
I suggest you get a 4 Pin Molex to 8 Pin ATX EPS12V Motherboard Power Supply Adapter Converter Cable or 8-pin PCIe to 2xMolex and use 1 or 2 of the spare Molex connectors of your system.
I suggest you get the spare cable from our Technology Providers. The link below http://locate.intel.com/ locate.intel.com shows you the providers available near your home.
I hope my answer solves your question.
Regards,
Mike C

I'm having great trouble finding details and part numbers on the intel site for any extra cables for this chassis.
The first and most important would be the number for a cable that plugs into the chassis power board.
As I mentioned there's 5 empty sockets in the power board that are 2x2
Calling a provider results in them asking for part numbers that I don't know.
The power board itself has 2 numbers I've found - one on the board itself - DAOS6CTB4DO
and the other while googling that number - R4208P4MHGC
I can't find these numbers searching the intel site - I'd like to find some documentation on the specifications of the board.
Though I can find the board sold on amazon and ebay
The part itself looks like this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HMIAAOSwWnFV76nZ/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/HMIAAOSwWnFV76nZ/s-l1600.jpg
As you can see, it has 5 sockets on the left that are 2x2 - they are all empty in my chassis.
Is there somewhere that lists the power board or the cables on intel? I can't find them using the intel site search.

Hi, Canno,
In regard to your question how to connect the Gigabyte* GeForce GTX 1070 to the Intel® Server Chassis P4304XXMUXX.
The available spare cables for the Intel® Server Chassis P4304XXMUXX do not match your requirements; however, the power board has standard 2x2 12v Molex connectors. It is possible to get them from any pc retailer.
I am sending you the http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s2600cw/sb/s2600cw_p4000g_configuration_guide_rev1_42.pdf Configuration guide and spare and accessories guide for the Intel® Server Chassis P4304XXMUXX
I have attached a possible example from Newegg.

I will gladly assist you if you have any other question.
