Re: Red LED Geforce GTX 280
You must necessarily have 8xPin port, usually located in an adapter.
Re: Red LED Geforce GTX 280
6Pin is only one adapter...something like shown here,

Re: Red LED Geforce GTX 280
The GTX 280 has a TDP of 236 watts, two 6-pin connector plus the PCIe slot on specification but may only deliver 225 watts. With an 8-pin connector and a 6-pin plugs are allowed 300 watts. That is why the 8-pin connector required. Your power supply is sufficient, however.

You require a cable like this,
