It is needed if you have FXS ports on it, because the card will need
to provide ringing voltage to the phone.

While new people to Asterisk is always a good thing and we try to help as much 
as possible, please do some rudimentary research before posting questions to 
a list of over 10000 recipients.  

The TDM400P power supply is required for any FXS modules.  If you have an 
FXO-only system then the power supply connector may be left unplugged.

The power connector for the TDM400P is required to generate ring voltage 
on the FXS ports.  If you don't have and FXS modules on your card, then 
rumor has it that you do not need the power connector.

r: Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from
the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert
this by default into all your dial statements as you are killing call
progress information for the user. Really, you almost certainly do not
want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where
it is appropriate to do so. "r" makes it go the next step and
additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to
do so.
