Dell Optiplex 7010
Dell Optiplex 7010 MT
Btw the things I'm getting will be linked below
Basic Info Bout What I'm Doing:
I plan on swapping my case to a new case. I just need to know if I can use the power button, Mic&headset jack, sub ports or like the things on the front of my case when changing cases. I also got two other pieces of information. I know that the cpu fan that's above the cpu cooler will give me an error if I don't have it. I also know that they are proprietary mobo. The the fans I'm getting is going to be connect to my psu. I suggest that anybody that going to get a rgb fan have it connected to their psu instead of mobo cause it's easier for the optiplex. The case I'm getting doesn't have rgb 2 pin cable from the case front. So it's just the power hd audio, usb ports and like one other thing. My psu is fine btw I got a 600w psu with all the necessary cables. The thing is with the cpu cooler it says it's a 4 pin and in pretty sure I heard or saw that the 7010 cpu cooler is connected to the mobo with a 4 pin cable. Lastly I'm pretty sure that the dcc (default cpu fan) is needed and is the thing that will make you get the error.
Questions I Need Answer:
What are the cables names such as the pwr cable thing from the case?
Do these work on the dell optiplex?
If not what are the stuff I can do?
I plan on getting a cpu cooler, can it work with the mobo it's a 4 pin cpu cooler?
How can I avoid the cpu fan sensor bootup problem? I know I can press like f1 or something but i was wondering if there was another was
Is the default cpu cooler the thing that will make me get the error?
If not can I replace it with something else or just not use it at all.
The if I manage to get these answer I will make a video about it on YouTube and if I can use these parts feel free to but them or use them as reference

7010 power switch pinout:
7010 front panel USB is standard USB 3.0 20-1 pin. Depending on how old your new case is, some have only USB 2.0 while some have USB 3.0.
7010 front panel audio is Dell proprietary not standard HD Audio. It will be difficult to transplant 7010 front panel audio port to new case.

These should make changing cases easier

you need to rewire power switch. the 7010 MT uses proprietary 6 pin switch. the pinout I think is already mapped out.
the front audio and usb are standard cables that new case hopefully have already.
the heatsink fan power connector on 7010 is Dell proprietary 5 pin 4 wire. to replace with non Dell heatsink fan you need to get an adapter (4 pin to 5 pin). whether this can avoid BIOS error is a good question.
