Dell D220p 01 Power Supply Pinout 2 ((new))
Note: Some sources indicate an alternative pinout where pins 1-4 are Ground, 5 is Signal, and 6-8 are 12V. Always verify with a multimeter, as D220P-01, ADP-220AB, and F220P-00 may have slight variations.
When the power supply is plugged in but not "on," the LED on the brick is typically Orange (Standby). Once Pin 5 and Pin 6 are shorted, the LED should turn Green , indicating that 12V is now present on Pins 1, 2, and 3.
To bypass this safety feature and jump-start the power supply for standalone use, you must interconnect the remote logic wires: Dell D220p 01 Power Supply Pinout 2
: Once the Blue wire detects ground, the internal relay clicks, the built-in status LED changes from amber to green, and a stable ~12.3V output becomes available across the white wires.
This guide is intended for electronics hobbyists, repair technicians, and PC builders who wish to repurpose this specific power supply or troubleshoot it outside of a Dell OptiPlex chassis. Note: Some sources indicate an alternative pinout where
🚀 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.
The key to safely using this power supply is to understand the function of each of the 8 pins, as described in the table below. Once Pin 5 and Pin 6 are shorted,
