It came with a PDB-PT846-8824 power distributor but it doesn't have the connectivity I require. I need at least 2 pci-e 8 pin connectors. All I've got left from this psu is 4 floppy connectors and a cpu connector. I would really prefer to avoid doing dangerous splitter and conversion things. Is there a different power distribution backplane I can get to replace my current one that will have 2 pci-e 8 (6+2 would be even better, but not required) pins and maybe even a couple of sata cables too?
I've found this psu cable list on supermicro's site but it's unclear what is and isn't compatible with my chassis.
If it matters the specific model is Supermicro SuperChassis 846E16-R1200B with the BPN-SAS2-846EL1 backplane that requires 5 or 6 molex cables by itself.
edit: or maybe I should just tear the whole thing out and just jam an atx power supply in there. i would prefer to use something that is natively supportede by the chassis, but it seems like a lot of people like to do that. i also just so happen to have an factory sealed hx1000i just sitting in my closet not doing anything....
