We are trying to add some USB 3.0 ports to a DL380p G8 and firstly tried using the HP Part QT587AA, USB3.0 2X2 Port PCIE card. The card is seen by the server and OS but seems to require us to provide power to work and get it to see external devices. The cables provided to provide power won't connect. Looking at the HP Product Bulletin there is no HP part listed for the G8 to provide USB 3.0.
What are people doing to get USB 3.0 ports into these servers?
Still a bit bemused as to why there are so many USB 2.0 ports but no USB 3.0 ports in these new machines?
Thanks
Andy
