Precision 7920 Tower, compatible with NVIDIA Quadro K6000 12 GB GPU?

Hello, everyone. My question is this, "Is the Dell Precision 7920 Tower (Dual Xeon Gold 6130 cpu) compatible with a NVIDIA Quadro K6000 12 GB GPU?" If the answer is yes, what additional power cable(s) will I need? I bought the GPU and it obviously needs a cable but came without one.

 

Thanks in advance :D

    K6000 ​ Requires two 6-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors from your power supply unit (PSU)

    @redxps630​ Thank you so much for responding! I just bought both the 7920 and the Nvidia  Quadro but have never worked on a server before (but work on PCs all the time). I've had the panel off like twice now. Looks like both ends of the cable in the pic from the manual are identical. I wasn't sure if there was a different connector to the MB. Looks like I just need to go buy a couple standard cables :D 

     

    Thanks Again
