r2208gz4gc - Xeon Phi 31S1P compatibility?

[SCous2]

Hi,

I have some r2208gz4gc servers and some 31S1P's and I was wondering about putting them together. The Phi looks like it needs a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector. I don't readily see how I can connect these to the server. I read online about someone who had done this so I'm hopeful but wanted to ask others who know more about these servers. So, is this possible? If so, what is the procedure?

Thanks,

Steve

I guess I'll broaden this a bit: Can Xeon Phi's work in the S2600 series of 2U servers? How can power be hooked up?

Thanks,

Steve

I opened up a chat case with Intel support and found that I need to change the PCIe Risers out with part number A2UL16RISER which includes the power connectors. Also a AGZCOPRODUCT air duct to route air into the PHI's. Also, technically this 31S1P isn't compatible with this server. The 3120A is. We'll see how it goes...

Thanks for the follow up and keep us post it with the results.
