I have a powerEdge T310 with existing SATA drives and I want to add hardware RAID controller. I choose the PERC H700 (which from what I read is compatible with the T310 and supports both SATA and SAS). The connectors on the H700 are specifically SAS-8087 so I also purchased a SAS-8087 to 4xSATA convertor.
The problem I'm running into is that the current hard drives are powered by what looks like a 8pin EPS connector (I'm very new so I might not have the correct part - it looks like the following connector but has two red, two yellow, and 4 black connectors):
I'm looking for a part number that can break this 8pin EPS connection into 4 SATA power connections. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
