CORRECT		YES
CORRECT	connector pinout is correct, though i have seen different coloring code for this dell supply, on my PS there was no TFSC wire at all -empty spot	YES
ERROR FIXED	Dell Precision 610 (and maybe other Dell workstations of similar age) also uses a very similar 24pin P1 connector, but according to the service manual, pins 17-24 are -5 VDC (white), -5 VDC (white), +5 VDC (red), +5 VDC (red), +5 VDC (red), TFSC (brown), +3.3 VDC (blue/white) and common (black) respectively, instead of N/C, +5 VDC (red), +5 VDC (red), +5 VDC (red), TFSC (brown), +5 VDC (red) and +3.3 VDC (blue/white). Link to service manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dvol/9156c.pdf	YES
CORRECT	Please forget about my previous report saying that the pins are not correct with reference to the Dell service manual. It seems that the Dell service manual is wrong.
