16.12.3 Using the Auxiliary Power Cable
When using a PCIe card such an FPGA GPU cards that requires additional power, you may need auxiliary power cables . Depending on the
power requirement of your PCIe card, it will have a different built-in aux power port in which you attach the aux power cable.
A PCIe slot provides 75 watts of slot power, which is not enough to meet the power requirement for a high-end add-in card with power
consumption. A direct connection to the power system is needed to obtain additional power. This can be done by using the 6+ 2 pin or 8 pin
auxiliary power cables. The below photos represent how the 6+2 pin connector and 8 pin aux power cables are attached to the PCIe card or
GPU card.
The photo below is an example of a PCIe card or GPU card that has two 6-pin power connectors.
