I am upgrading a PowerEdge T310 for a customer that was originally shipped w/ a single HDD and no RAID controller (single drive is connected to mobo).
I have purchased a PERC H700 controller and the X394K cable and hooked everything up. There does not seem to be anything to connect the drives to the power supply, except for a 12-pin connector labeld "P3A". But, the server does not have a connector anywhere I can connect that to. The only thing available is an 8-pin connector from the power supply.
Is there an adapter cable to go from the 8-pin to the 12-pin? Or do I need something other than the X394K cable, which provides the SATA data connector and the power in a single molded unit?
Please advise.
Thank you!
