I can't confirm with this specific chassis, but most of these GPU server chassis do not support high-power cards, and only support cards with a TDP lower than e.g. 225W. As such, they usually only have one 6pin or one 6+2pin PCI-e power connector per GPU. You can use an adapter, but then you'd be pulling way too much power through the line and run the risk of catching it on fire. Some also have trays that only accept passively-cooled GPUs, or GPUs that don't have a bracket on them.
Before installing an unsupported GPU, you should verify that this chassis support actively-cooled GPUs, and is able to supply the appropriate power to each GPU (high end AMD cards require 8pin + 6pin or 2x 8pin power.)
