I recently bought a server that has a redundant power supply configuration. My main issue is that I don't know whether a y-splitter power cable is a problem or do I need double the power cables? Also, what is the best option for active cooling on the xeon cpus in this system?

    You need to use two different power cable and source for connecting each power supply. iDRAC/BMC on the server will do the active cooling by increasing/decreasing fan speed based on temperature reading on the server

    Thanks for the response. Does the chassis really provide enough airflow though?
