Older Motherboard with Different Power Connector

[hyounker]

I'm trying to find a way to use a newer power supply in a Fujitsu Siemens Celsius R630 workstation PC. My only concern is a white, 8 pin, straight line connector coming directly from the power supply. The power supply is a HIPRO HP-W700WC3. See pictures please. I've not seen this type of connector on a power supply before and I'm hoping to find an adapter of some sort. So far, no luck, but I don't know what I'm looking for or what it's called. Any help identifying this connector or an adapter that will allow me to use a "normal" power supply is much appreciated.

This is a tough one. I'm not positive about what I found but I'll share it with you in the hopes you can research it further. It appears the straight 8-pin is to control the fan in the power supply and you may be able to ignore it. Here's what I found-

Scroll to page 4 of this pdf- describes an 8-pin listed under 'power supplies' heading-
ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/Mainboard-OEM-Sales/Information/ProductFacts/PF_Silent_Fan_e.pdf

"In order to control the power supply fan, a special power supply with an 8-pin control input that is primarily
installed in Fujitsu Technology Solutions PCs is required. In power supplies without control input, the power
supply fan is indicated as “not present” and consequently is also not monitored or controlled. Nonetheless, this
type of power supply does not restrict the remaining thermal management functions. "

I think the connector is called a 'PC 2004 8-pin'

I did not find any adapters for this at all and as I said I am not positive that this information I've found is 100% correct in its' application to your hardware, but it appears to apply to your power supply. I hope this is some help to you as it was a lengthy research.

Wow! Awesome job finding all this information. I'm going to purchase a "normal" power supply (probably 1kW) and give it a try.

Thanks to you identifying this connector, I've found the following (in hopes of helping anyone else with this problem):

Again, I'm going to try a different PSU and I'll post back here with the results.

Thanks again, Archaic59!!!!!!
