Flexbay Pin Layout for Dimension 5000

There is nothing in the available Dell on line documentation about this.  This is typical as Dell does not publish pin outs for many of their connectors.  e.g. the Front Panel connector is a Dell proprietary and undocumented connector.

The only pin assignments they show is for the 24 pin power connector and that is wrong as they only show pin outs for a 20 pin power connector.  (The 24 pin power connectors are standard ATX and not a Dell proprietary).

Thanks fireberd.

Yes, I couldn't find anything published either, but the post I link to below along with the one above it gave me hope that Dell Technical Support does have the information somewhere!

I have found a small company that can produce an adapter cable, but they have told me that the Flexbay pins differ between different Dell mobos, hence the reason I can't assume this info is correct for the Dimension 5000.

Other than posting here, not sure how else I could find out the pin layout!

You won't find it. Unless you measure with a meter its going to be a guess.

The diagram you found is similar to standard INTEL Desktop Retail motherboard USB pinouts.

This is not an industry standard and the Dell boards are made by Foxconn not by Intel.

DELL DOES NOT PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION on their site.

The company is correct that it can vary in different Dell models.  We have found that in the front panel connection as well.  Unless someone has done it on their own and posted it, I doubt that you will find a pinout.

You can try what that user posted and see if it works - "trial and error" is probably what it will take.   As noted by one of the posts on that thread, I have an E510 (same as a 5150) which has a different connector.
