Important Notes:
1. Compatible Models
Fully compatible only with HP Z620 and Z420 workstation motherboards. Limited compatibility may exist with certain early Z220/Z230 models. Other Z-series models such as Z210 and Z820 are not supported. Verify your motherboard model before purchase.
Requires use with a standard ATX power supply (version 2.0 or later). Does not support non-ATX specification power supplies (e.g., server-specific units).
II. Installation Notes
Before installation, switch off the main power supply to prevent live connections causing short circuits and damage to the motherboard/power supply.
The motherboard must be connected to both: this adapter cable (24-pin to 18-pin) + the original power supply's 8-pin CPU power cable. Both are essential (connecting only the adapter cable will prevent the system from booting).
III. Usage Safety Precautions
Do not exceed the rated capacity: the cables support a maximum power of 400W. If the power supply exceeds 400W, replace the adapter cable with a higher-rated specification to prevent cable overheating.
Regular inspection after prolonged use: Should any damage to the cable sheathing or loose connectors be detected, cease use immediately and replace the cable to prevent electrical leakage or poor contact.
IV. Non-Hot-Swap Device: All cable connections must be made with the power disconnected (power plug removed). Hot-swapping during operation may cause a short circuit between the power supply and motherboard.
