Hello everybody, I have IBM X3500 M3 server, it have PCI x16 port, and i have NVIDIA QUADRO m5000, this card need max 175 W, but the server no have 6 pin connection, and no have other power connection, the PSU its 950 W. I think get power for card from SATA free port whit this


https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATPCIEXADAP-6-Inch-Express-Adapter/dp/B007Y91B80/ref=pd_sim_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=F51WAC6CCHQVGVXEZW70

but it's dangerous for motherboard? all power it's from mother board (PSU only have connections to Mother board) and the SAS backplanes, DVD its connect to MotherBoard. Its dangerous connect graphics card to sata power? any ideas, please help.

Thank you,

I tried, what is the best, Optical power units (DVD,tapes...) or from SAS black plane module?, both its void (nothing in SAS, nothing optical units).
