GPU Power Cabling for Tesla M40 in C4130
Hello - I have a PE C4130, and I'm changing the GPU cards from AMD S9150 to Tesla M40. The C4130 has 4 RV9T2 power cables to the existing GPUs. The M40 has a single 8 pin power connector, and also comes with a an adapter, part 030-0571-000. It looks to me like the 8 pin end of the RV9T2 does not fit directly into the M40, however it does fit into one side of the 030-0571-000, so I can go RV9T2--> 030-0571-000-->M40 Is this the proper configuration?. Or do the NVidia cards use a different GPU power cable, other than the RV9T2?

DF5NR ASSY,CBL,PWR,DUAL GPU,MB,C4130
This cable has one 8 pin connector, and one 6 pin connector for the GPU.
From what I can see, the 8 pin input on the M40 is slightly different than the shape of the Dell DF5NR cable, and doesn't seem to fit. So my question is this.
The Tesla GPU cards came with an adapter, NVIDIA P/N: 030-0571-000, what I can see, is that, the input for this adapter (the mail side) matches the 8 pin from the Dell cable. Is the proper cabling then for this server/GPU combo just the 8 pin from the Dell cable to the NVIDIA adapter, and then to the GPU?

Hello - I am currently planning for an upgrade of the GPUs in my Dell C4130 from AMD models to Tesla M40. In the C4130, the GPU power cable is this Dell P/N:
DF5NR ASSY,CBL,PWR,DUAL GPU,MB,C4130
This cable has one 8 pin connector, and one 6 pin connector for the GPU.

Yes that is the right cabling.
