3DLABS WILDCAT REALIZM 100 - Manual (Page 4)

Connecting power to the Wildcat Realizm 800
The Wildcat Realizm 800 (which conforms to the PCI
Express™ x16 Graphics 150W-ATX Specification 1.0 for
graphics accelerators) uses power from the system power
supply via a High-End power connector specifically designed
to plug directly into a x16 PCI Express graphics card.
If your system power supply does not have the High-End
power connector, it does not conform to the PCI Express High-End power specification. Before you
continue installation of your card, you must ensure your system has the minimum
recommended power requirements.
In addition, you will need to use the power Y cable supplied with your card to connect to the system
power supply. The power Y cable will allow you to connect two independent power cables from the
system power to supply power to the card.
