Connect the graphics card power cable option to support high-power graphics cards. The server can only

Before installing a high-power graphics card in the server, be sure that the power supplies support the
installation of the card. Because of the high power requirements for the card, a 750-W or higher power
supply might be required. For more information, see the HP website
