A bit stumped here...
Manual: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/chassis/3U/SC835X.pdf

Motehrboard Page: Supermicro | Products | Motherboards | Xeon® Boards | X10DRX
Pictures in the manual show a 2P motherboard, it's made to handle their large motherboard I have linked above. Yet there's only 1 8-Pine motherboard connection? Are you kidding me?
What's this connector for then? It says it's for the motherboard but obviously the wrong connection.
My thought is I'm going to have to use one of the molex or sata power cables with an 8-pin adapter... that really sucks because I'm hoping to cram 8x NVME 2.5" on the front SATA/SAS via custom adapter... so I'm going to have to power 8x Enterprise NVME from 2x MOLEX with splitters
Pictures: Dropbox - SM-835
(Yes, I'm aware the HSF are backwards, mobo was on test bench and that's just how they went on and I didn't want to re-do paste while testing. That's why there's a pink note telling me too, ha ha.)
Questions:
- What's that "Motherboard" connection for if it's not the RIGHT 8-pin?
- This Chassis has 4x GPU can I utilize those wires for additional molex or 8-pin? I know the PSU has the ooomph to power the system + the drives since it's 4x GPU capable.
