Poweredge R410 V2 with standard ATX Power Supply
I recently purchased an R410 motherboard with the intention of using an ATX power supply on it. However, upon reading the Technical Guide (page 25), I realized that the 24-pin connector is non-standard on the R410. Would a ATX 24-pin to Dell 24 + 16-pin adapter work on this motherboard? I cannot for the life of me find a wiring diagram for that adapter but I also don't want to fry the motherboard. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this board/adapter?

I'm also trying to do this - sent you a friend request on these forums.
Looks like quite the feat and I think there would be a LOT of interest in seeing how you did this as poweredge motherboards and xeon x56xx cpus are really cheap on the secondhand market and perfect for home server projects or even cheap-o workstation/gaming rigs!

Turns out that the adapter was direct 24-pin to 24-pin with a 16-pin spliced into it. Has anyone ever tried running this motherboard off of an ATX power supply directly?

I am working on that :) i have dell power suply and normal ATX.
At this moment i have 2 power supplys . And atx pins in docuemntations aren't even same as in my dell power supply . So this is strange .
I see that power edge have some diffrent power lines like 3.3vsb 5vsb 12vsb and i am missing them in my atx power supply. I think they are powerisg some thinsgs like usb wake on lan on keyboard etc. I will work on that . And when i done i will share :) my experiences.

I smple compare two connectors and move cables to match :D and this is all :) there is mone yproblem beacuse normal atx power supply don't have 12 v standby Voltage. 12v+ vsb or something like that. So i need to run power supply (connect green calbe with black) and when pus starts i can start board.
I move board to atx case . board takes 90% of space i add also dedicated video card installed verticaly. I use riser for this . And 32 gbs of ram :)
And this is like ryzen x1700x :)
Board is rly hot so u need to install some fan ob board chipset . I also modify cooling and install custom radiators on cpus. One minus is that we can't overclock. But it's fair :)

Did you get anywhere with this? Literally doing this exact project now! What’s the minimum amount of hardware needed to boot? (Ie Front panel, PDU, riser etc)
planning to watercool to keep noise to a minimum!

So I believe this to be the pinout from the R410 PDU.
There’s one unknown pin which I believe is blank and the voltage/signal from the white wire i’m going to guess is Stby 12v.
Anybody with a R410 please weigh in!!

Okay, white confirmed as 12v Standby

Okay, the blank pin was not blank, but is actually a COM (Black)
I have been worried that I would not be able to get the system to boot without a PDU, however it seems that if you use a single 480w Dell PSU (0H410J) there is no PDU.
Is the PDU required to boot?
I'm growing more confident with this pinout configuration so will be powering on at the bench to see what i get in the next few days - again any input would be welcome.

Done!
With the pinout above im able to boot into bios. The pinout in the R410 technical manual is incorrect.
I’m running a Mainboard, front panel and Riser.
12v standby supply is required and I’ve supplied it using an adapter which I hacked to work as the standby supply.
Any questions just ask away.
