I got an HP ProLiant DL380 G4 for free and want to use it with SATA HDDs as described here: https://serverfault.com/a/516949/290693 But how can i power up the server without the SCSI backplane, because the power Switch connects to it

Don't do it. There's no reason to pursue trying to convert an 11 year-old server to SATA. There's absolutely no upside to it.

The backplane is not required to power the server on, though.
