Aurora R10, PSU cable?

Hi there Alienware community,

I have read a lot of articles here I love how people help each other.

So I need help. Last month I bought Alienware Aurora R10 used. When I opened it I see there is a missing PSU cable to power the SSD/HDD. Any suggestions on where I can these or what I should use? 

I have tried to buy a nonbrand cable 6pin and PC doesn't turn on with them.

    Do you have 850w or 1000w psu?  both are modular psu (the 550w psu is non-modular)

    I think the 850w psu is model D850EF-00, which was used in Aurora R5/6.

    DP/N G2GX9 looks like the Dell sata power cable.

    Dell cable set

    (2) JX68G for R3 & R4 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 14"
    (2) G9Y40 for R5 & R6 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 10"
    (1) MD63V for R7 - 8-pin
    (1) GP6MV for R9 - 4-pin 17"
    (1) G2GX9 for R10 - Angled Dual SATA 16"
    (1) 4NT8R for R12 - HDD (Dual SATA) + ODD (miniSATA) 7.5"
    (1) 654MT for ATX connectors 9"

    R10 Validated OEM PSU =

    RGJRX 1000W, Gold, E-Star
    0PDJK 1000W, Gold, E-Star
    0WTGN 1000W, Gold, E-Star
    9XG5C 850W, Huntkey, E-Star 2
    0VMT9 550W, Gold, E-Star
    FKY8W 550W, Gold, E-Star
    RN3F8 550W, Gold, E-Star
    YXK65 550W, Gold, E-Star

    Is Good Troubleshooting

    confirmed R10 9XG5C 850W, Huntkey is also used for Aurora R8 etc.

    Cable set DP/N in first reply.

    HU850EF-01 (Huntkey)

    redxps630_0-1677458121126.jpeg

    Sata power cable

    G2GX9 ASSY,CBL,PWR,850W,HD+HD,R5.

     

    I am reasonably confident that same cable set is compatible with Dell 1000w modular psu for Aurora R10 etc.

    Aurora R8 PSU part numbers below = (source Dell-Chris M)

    9XG5C 850W Huntkey Gold
    J2GNJ 850W Huntkey Bronze
    48Y6D 850W Huntkey Bronze
    NJVDN 850W Delta Gold
    D1J02 850W Delta Bronze





    Area 51 R2 Dell validated OEM PSU = (source Dell-Chris M)
    N1WJD Delta 850W
    48Y6D Huntkey 850W
    9XG5C Huntkey V2 850W


    Finally N1WJD is a Dell oem psu for Aurora R5

    it is prudent not to use modular cable from one retail psu maker for psu made by another. For example never mix Corsair modular cable with Seasonic.

    Corsair also makes different modular cable such as type 3 or type 4 which are incompatible.

    Regarding the current topic of discussion, there is evidence (see above) that Aurora R5, R8, R10, Area 51 R2 (and likely R5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 inclusive) 850w Dell oem modular psu are 100% compatible and safe to interchange, not just the psu itself but cable set.  User do need to pay attention to precut cable length as R5, R10 chassis are somewhat different.

    If the oem 850w psu and 1000w psu are made by same company for Aurora R10, for example D850EF-00 and D1000EF-00, it is reasonable to presume cable set for 850w psu is c/w 1000w.  Since all Dell 850w oem psu are interchangeable regardless of Delta, Huntkey etc., as they must all conform to Dell oem standard, it can be further presumed that 850w cable set for R5 is c/w all 1000w oem psu models for Aurora R5-10.

    Never use modular cables from another PSU, as you could easily damage the PSU.

    Look inside the metal box in front of the PSU. Take the metal shield off that has 2 screws. Your SATA power cables may be folded up inside that box, which is intended for excess cable storage.

    @redxps630​ 

    Hi, Sorry I was a little confused. I have the same predicament as the original poster, so what you are saying is that we need to buy all those cables listed 2,2,1,1,1,1,1 to install the 1000 gold RGJRX PSU ? Thanks in advance.

    Dell cable set

    (2) JX68G for R3 & R4 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 14"
    (2) G9Y40 for R5 & R6 - 6+2 PCI-E Cable 10"
    (1) MD63V for R7 - 8-pin
    (1) GP6MV for R9 - 4-pin 17"
    (1) G2GX9 for R10 - Angled Dual SATA 16"
    (1) 4NT8R for R12 - HDD (Dual SATA) + ODD (miniSATA) 7.5"
    (1) 654MT for ATX connectors 9"

    the R# is for Dell oem psu port number

    in Aurora R10, you do not need the (1) GP6MV for R9 - 4-pin 17"

    at minimum you need the 24 pin and 8 pin cables for motherboard

    which are

    (1) 654MT for ATX connectors 9" (for mobo 24 pin ATX socket)

    (1) MD63V for R7 - 8-pin (for mobo 8 pin cpu socket)

    If you run M.2 ssd only you do not need the sata power cables

    if you need a HDD you only need one cable that has SATA connector
