Dell D220p 01 Power Supply Pinout 2

Most D220P-01 units include a small 4-pin square connector (often labeled "P4") for the CPU VRM. This matches the standard ATX12V connector electrically, but check the colors.

Wiring caution: This 4-pin connector is keyed identically to standard P4 connectors. It is safe to use on any standard motherboard that requires a 4-pin CPU power.

Warning: 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).

Unlike standard ATX power supplies that route every necessary signal through a single 20- or 24-pin motherboard connector, Dell used a split design in many Optiplex models:

Why "Pinout 2"? Many users searching for "pinout 2" are specifically looking for the second connector’s pin assignment. The main 20-pin is well-documented, but the smaller connector varies between Dell models. For the D220P-01, the secondary connector is a 6-pin Molex 22-01-2065 (or compatible) with a specific keying that prevents plugging into standard 4-pin floppy or fan headers. Most D220P-01 units include a small 4-pin square


The D220P-01 is a decent, compact PSU for its age, but its non‑standard pinout makes it a headache for DIY projects unless you have the exact wiring diagram. Below is the accurate pinout for its two main motherboard connectors (P1 & P2). Use this at your own risk.

Critical difference: 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.
