That implies that the 2850 has a standard molex connector anywhere inside of it, which is not the case.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell 2850 w/TDM2400?
no, fxs ports require you to use a 4-pin molex connector to power the pci card to generate ring voltages from the power supply. most dell/hp/whoever small form-factor units don't provide this, unless you can kludge something up from a splitter or power bus feeding a drive backplane or something of the sort. j Nick Hoffman wrote: On Tue March 28 2006 10:33, Kevin P.
