[Asterisk-Users] tdm400p and dell 2600 poweredge

[Grant McInnes]

Hi all:

I've been developing and testing on a tdm400p card and it's been going
well.

As you probably know, the tdm400p needs an ide power supply, but the
dell poweredge 2600 that this card is destined for eventually has all
the power supplied on the backplane with no ide cables.

The thing is, on the motherboard in the server, there is an ide ribbon
connector, and beside that, something also marked ide, that looks
suspiciously like a power supply takeoff.  

I've talked to the good folks at dell about this, and they are as
clueless as ever.  Has anyone run into this problem before and, if so,
have you found the secret cable that turns the power supply on the board
into a regular ide cable?

Cheers,
-grant
