The connector is keyed - don't try excessive force, but it should 
pop right in.

No adapters available here and this is an expensive, high end, server
PS. I don't want to change it for another one - can't anyway, as a
standard one won't mount properly.

May I suggest a new case and PSU instead? Or a server grade MB to 
use in this server, instead of the cheap crap you picked up at the flea
market?

Actually I figured it out myself, but thanks for answering the
question.

As I said, this is a good server PS. It was supplied by Supermicro with
the server case (SC 742 - brand new), is 550 W, universal 100-240 V
input. The make/model is Ablecom SP550-RP. The MB is a new Tyan 5112.
You may not like Tyan, or even this MB for some reason, but it is in
fact, server grade. There is not a huge selection of ECC supporting MBs
out there, that is one reason I went with this one. What do _you_
recommend?


All server grade boards should support ECC.  I would recommend one
that supports advanced ECC, i.e. Chipkill, such as the ASUS SK8V or
the Arima HDAMB.
