HDX3 on MacPro7,1 power connection
Hi,
How do you Guys connect power of HDX3 in 7,1? Are you using Belkin AUX power kit with 1-to-3 power splitter? Or 3 separate power cords? Thanks |

Look in your HDx box. It comes with a 1 to 3 splitter. But you might need the belkin one depending on slot you start hdx. It's longer. The avid one is very short.

Re: HDX3 on MacPro7,1 power connection
Hi Arche3,
this is actually what I'm asking about. Should i extend power from power connector for slot 1 and then use supplied splitter or should i connect every card to appropriate slot power connector thanks |

Re: HDX3 on MacPro7,1 power connection
In either case you don't use 3 separate power cables.
You use one. If you use the lower slots (near to the graphics cards) you need the Belkin in addition to the Avid power cable (1-to-3). If you use the upper slots, then you use the power port near the top cards and only need the Avid power cable (1-to-3) and you don't need the Belkin at all. There isn't even enough power ports on the motherboard to do a 1-1 setup with power for every card slot.
