You can steal power from the SATA power port on the 5501 to power the PCI cards needs: http://soekris.kd85.com/images/voipcard-power.jpg The only problem is that most cards are just too long to fit into the case-with-one-slot with a MOLEX connector attached to it, so in the picture the power leads are soldered to the bottom of the MOLEX connector to save room. Because this case has both a SATA disk + the TDM410, the wiring a bit messy to say the least ;-) Wim. > On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 11:32 AM, Darrick Hartman > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have several net 5501's with Rhino 8 and 24 port boards but max of 12 > > channels.
