Power
Specifications
The Tesla C1060 computing processor is a performance optimized high-end board
solution. Power is taken from the PCI Express host bus as well as either one 8-pin
or two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.
Note: When connecting two 6-pin power cables to the two power connectors on the
Tesla C1060 board, ensure that both power cables come from the same power
rail. For example, the same 12 V power supply.
Without auxiliary power provided to the Tesla C1060 board, the board will not boot
and LED lights on the board will light up as listed in Table 5. This table outlines the
different possible scenarios as well as the resulting behaviors.
