to get an 8 pin extension cable for 9020 you first need to know the Dell connector bevel key. It looks like this
therefore this Dell 8 pin connector (one standard type) is different from PCIe 8 pin connector which has a different bevel key. But the Dell bevel key looks identical to standard EPS 8 pin connector. so you can use a standard EPS 8 pin extension cable.
Oh thank you so much. I was getting worried because I saw several posts with people saying that as the system is not standard atx that you couldnt use those cables and i was concerned that wires may cross over on the extension cable, but i suppose thats more in conversion than straight extension. So the following should be fine?
the 8 pin looks like the bevel you show, just upside down. Thanks for the help.
The 8 pin EPS extension cable is passive pass through with 4 yellow and 4 black wires going straight from female to male end. No cross over. It will transmit whatever 8 pinout you connect to the female end to the male end. It is a one to one extension in other words. Whatever nonstandard 8 pin you connect to it, the male end replicates exactly the same pinout.
I would use straight 8 to 8 pin EPS extension cable (without 4+4 pin split end) like this one.

4 pin cpu cable extension is standard.
