Hi guys, I recently acquired a few U.2 NVMe SSDs which I intend to add to my CSE-829U X10DRU-i+ System. I connected them to AOC-SLG3-2E4 adapter card, and only then did I realize that there is not a single SATA power port on the motherboard. Nor could I find a molex connector.
Now, supermicro does have CBL-PWEX-0696 (4-Pin (Fan) to Straight SATA 15-Pin Power Cable), which got me very confused. Are those intended for providing sata power off the 4-pin fan headers? Sounds extremely suspicious but I couldn't think of how that cable can possibly be used otherwise.
Do I have any option here to use those SSDs, or am I stuck with a bunch of parts that I can't actually use? Would really appreciate any input here.
