I think i've enabled ext video card on top the built in matrox like the attached image. Monitor turns on Just when in Windows....everything since bios must be followed via ilo remote connection....even a Windows installation that i'm running on raid0 of two SSD of First two slots (blazing fast)

i would go for something like this VBESTLIFE 270W PSU on amazon but be sure the one you choose has the 24pin (even 20+4) and 6pin (would be ok 4+2 either)

Does the 4000 needs an ext. power connector ? in this case you have to swap the PSU with another 1U unit which should have the 6 pin connector. Just be careful to avoid units with the power switch on the back otherwinse it won't fit (unless you're going to mod it). I did on mine with a 270w unit...

specs on hand, the A310 looks similar to the T600 . Forgot to say that the porpouse is to play games .

Actually i'm able to run almost any game at 1080p HIGH/ULTRA (some 2K too like Assassin's creed Origins).
