Sound Blaster AE-9 PCIe 6-pin power from 8-pin Dell 7920 PSU
The SB AE-9 needs a 6-pin power jumper. There is an unused 8-pin power connector tagged P22 in the Dell. What cable or adapter is recommended to do this? Thanks! I found an 8-pin PCIe from a 6-pin supply but that is backwards. dennisw@aeanm.com

It's a propriety connector for Dell motherboards, it's not pinned like PCIe. Do NOT plug that into your sound card. Bad things will happen.
Dell P22:
PCIe 6+2:

Thanks for the info!! I'm still looking for an adapter/jumper that will do the trick. I mistyped - it is P12 (not P22)
-
That looks like PCIe 6+2 to me. PCIe 6 is what the device requires per the manual. So you would just connect the 6 pin portion and tie the two ground back.

Oh! I'll try it. Thanks!!!

It worked!! First time in my life it was proper to insert an 8-pin plug into a 6-pin receptacle. Thanks for the help!
