Question:
Where can I buy the auxiliary power cable for my Pro Tools HDx cards?
I am installing two Pro Tools HDx cards in the Magma EB3T and I can't find a power cable to power these boards up. I am basically moving HDX cards from a Mac Tower into a Magma chassis EB3T. I can't use the Auxiliary power cable from Mac with EB3T. How can I get the HDX Auxiliary power cable for EB3T installation?


Answer:
Avid supplies the required cable. There are two auxiliary cables provided by AVID and are are included with Pro Tools HDX.

1. One is use for mac Installation
2. And the other is for PC installation.

If you don't have that AUX Cable for PC installation you have to contact AVID to get one.

Note:
The Aux power cable for mac is different cable than the one for PC.

Why is it you don't have the Auxiliary power cable?
Because you initially used the HD card with your Mac and had to use the AUX cable for Mac rather than PC. Therefore, you either discarded the AUX power cable for PC or unintentionally have misplaced it. You'd never thought that you would be using the HD card in the future with an expansion EB3T unit.
Now, you have the new EB3T and you don't have the AUX Power Cable for PC.

Hey, doing the same thing and going from Mac pro tower to EB3T. Were you ever able to find a solution? Did you end up contacting Avid? Been poking around their website and it seems like it's going to be impossible

I found one on Ebay last month.

Mac Pro XD Triple Core Assembly Cable Power 9180-60004-00 is the technical name of what you are looking for.
