Hi
New here, so please be gentle.
I have posted this in the Chassis and Enclosures forums, but I am not sure where this topic fits best.
I have a specific question about Power Distribution for SM proprietary motherboards.
I have several self-built SM and Asus platforms both DP and UP. These are nominally used for some of my work.
I recently obtained a SM X9DRFF motherboard and have been trying to bring this into operation. My question is about powering this board. It is “Fat Twin” node with a proprietary edge connector.

As advised by SM Europe, whose product support is exceptionally good, I have obtained.
Power - distributor: BPN-PDB-F418 and a Power supply: PWS-1K62P-1R
The Supermicro Manual MNL-1423 for this Board gives the following instructions for powering this board.
Supermicro Support gave me the following information.
The EPS P8 (JP5) and the two P4 CPU Power connections (JP3 and JP4) are not mandatory for the node to power on and function
The JP3 and JP4 power headers are for optional power to a backplane for HDD power support
The JP5 power header is for an optional GPU card power support
These are all power OUTPUT not INPUT headers
Only BPN-PDB-F418 needs to be used to power on the node

Interestingly the form factor for the EPS P8 (JP5) connector on this board is that for a GPU, a normal EPS P8 Backshell shell will not fit.
Other motherboards in the FatTwin series do indeed have dedicated HDD power connectors.

Perhaps one of the more experienced members could, point me in the right direction, I do not want to damage this unit.
Thanks
