Dell D220p 01 — Power Supply Pinout 2 [extra Quality]

On the D220P-01, several standard ATX pins (like #8 PG, #9 +5VSB, #14 PS_ON) are not populated or are dummy pins . Do not rely on them. Instead, use the secondary connector described below.

SATA power connectors are used to power storage devices like hard drives and SSDs.

The D220P-01 does not require a load on +5V or +12V to start, unlike some older ATX supplies. However, for stable voltage regulation, a minimum load of 1-2A on +5V is recommended (use a 2.5Ω, 10W resistor or an automotive bulb on the red/black wires of the main connector).

Connect the directly to any of the Black wires (Pins 2, 3, or 4 / DC Ground) .

To use this PSU in a standard PC, you need a 20-pin to 20-pin adapter. Do just use a straight-through cable. Map the Dell pinout to the standard ATX pinout: On the D220P-01, several standard ATX pins (like

In Dell service manuals and forum discussions, "Pinout 1" usually refers to the main 20-pin power connector. "Pinout 2" unambiguously refers to the secondary 6-pin control connector covered in Section 2 of this article.

Then, a click.

: Once shorted, the internal relay triggers, and the power brick will immediately begin outputting its full ~12.3V current .

Pin 10 is Brown (+12V2), not the typical -5V or empty. Missing: No +12V on Pin 10 in ATX; do not plug into a standard motherboard without an adapter. SATA power connectors are used to power storage

Measure the voltage across the white (12V) and black (Ground) wires using a multimeter. It should read around 12.35V.

If you are converting this PSU for hobbyist use (powering LED strips, charging batteries, testing motors), here is the correct way to access all outputs:
