  • Intel rev 2.1a PCIe 2x3, 75 W: Numbered assignments only. The retrieved Intel section supplies a table but no numbered mating-face or wire-side drawing; spatial orientation is UNVERIFIED. Do not mirror these numbers onto an unidentified cable end.
  • NVIDIA GRID K2 six-pin auxiliary connector: Use NVIDIA Figure 6 board connector drawing and its explicit #1 PIN and #4 PIN callouts. Table 2 defines numbers. No cable wire-side mapping established.
  • C191E / S570 separately describes the six-position PCIe connector body and the two-position detachable portion of a 6+2 cable end. The two-position portion is context only; it is not a second position count for this six-position form. Exact part, key geometry and cable assembly remain unresolved.

Choose the exact wiring. Pin numbers follow its stated view; a schematic does not establish physical positions. Check your exact device before wiring.

What the status labels mean
Confirmed
Recorded research passes agree within this variant; this is not independent human review or hardware validation.
Single source
Only one underlying document, or one pass, supports this assignment.
Device-specific
Supported for the named equipment or wiring only. Check your device’s manual.
Unverified
Missing or conflicting evidence. Do not wire from this row.

Trace 6 claims to their source records

C191A · P191

Intel documents a 2x3 PCIe add-in-card auxiliary-power connector form in the cited ATX design guide.

Claim scope: V36 catalogue-expansion identification fact only; not independent technical approval, fabrication data, wiring instruction or end-to-end compatibility proof.

Source links: S199 · Evidence trail → (private workspace)

C191B · P191

Intel ATX Version 3.0 Table 5-4 assigns the PCIe 2x3 auxiliary connector as pins 1–3 +12V3/V4, pin 4 COM, pin 5 Sense, and pin 6 COM.

Claim scope: V37 engineering-depth sidecar fact; source-checked but not independently human-approved, not a fabrication drawing, and not a safe-substitution or repair instruction.
