These are the GND (Ground) pins, completing the circuit for the 12V rails.
The Dell D220P-01 will not output 12V power simply by plugging it into a wall outlet. It requires a "turn-on" signal, just like an internal ATX power supply. Locate (the Remote/PS-ON wire). Locate any Ground pin (Pins 5, 6, or 7).
🚀 Since 18 amps is a high current load, do not rely on a single +12V wire. Solder all three +12V wires together and all three Ground wires together to distribute the load and prevent the wires from overheating. Dell D220p 01 Power Supply Pinout 2
To identify the pins, orient the plug so the locking clip or guide notch is facing upward. We will number them 1 through 4 on the top row (left to right) and 5 through 8 on the bottom row (left to right).
This is the control pin. To turn the power supply on, this pin must be shorted to Ground (GND). These are the GND (Ground) pins, completing the
If you need help identifying the for your specific revision or want a wiring diagram for a 12V conversion, let me know!
Connect a jumper wire or a toggle switch between Pin 4 and Ground. Locate (the Remote/PS-ON wire)
⚠️ While Dell usually follows standard conventions (White or Red for +12V, Black for Ground, Blue or Green for Remote), wire colors can vary by manufacturing batch. Always verify your pinout with a multimeter before connecting your expensive equipment.
