If you know of other cable assemblies that will fit this header please include them below! To my knowledge these will only work with 12th and 13th generation equipment, I know for a fact that the cable assemblies for the Dell R740 will not plug into these Micro-Fit headers. This header provides +12 volt on three wires (yellow wires), ground on three wires (black wires), and the remaining two wires are +3.3 volt sense (grey wires).Īfter some diligent searching I found some cables originally intended for the Dell C4130 system that will convert this header into a regular 8-pin PCIe power connector, or alternatively an EPS-12V power connector.ĭell 8RFPM Mini 8-pin to 8-pin EPS-12V Power Cable, 22' Inch.ĭell 8867X Mini 8-pin to 8-pin EPS-12V Power Cable, 18' Inch.ĭell RV9T2 Mini 8-pin to unknown (the other end of my cable was cut off).ĭell JWGFN / 123W8 Mini 8-pin to Mini 8-pin MB to BP Power Cable.ĭell 9H6FV 8-pin EPS-12V (for PCIe Riser) to 8+6-pin PCIe Power Cable, 12' Inch (guesstimate)ĭell 3692K 8-pin EPS-12V (for PCIe Riser) to 8+6-pin PCIe Power Cable, 21' Inch These use a mini 8-pin style connector that is a Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 (3.0mm pitch). There is one unused backplane power header at the left front of the R820 16-bay and two on the R720 16-bay (one is in the left front and the other is in the right rear).

I've been under the assumption that you can't add a GPU to the R820, but it turns out this isn't true.
