Other Power Connection Options
If you can’t connect the PL-P3/SMP to an unused connector from your power supply (as shown above)—for
example, your system uses a WTX power supply, or a proprietary power supply (including Dell and Compaq
models) with non-standard pin signal definitions, or your power supply simply does not have any remaining unused
connectors—we can suggest several options:
Consider upgrading the power supply to obtain more reserved connectors (contact your system vendor for information
on power supply upgrades).
Contact PowerLeap for a custom-designed power cable solution (minimum order: 50 pcs.). The photos below illustrate
