Product: HP Z620
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I would like to fit to my Z620 workstation new GPU card. I see that there are two pci-e auxiliary power connectors parked to the plastic bracket. I was planning to use these two to power up my new graphic card but I see potential issues.
The problem is that pin-out in these two connectors is not really up to PCI-e spec. There are five female terminals in each 6 ways connector. All three terminals in upper row are ground and two terminals in bottom are 12V. Cavity 6 is empty in both connectors. As far as I know PCI-e power connectors should have 12V power provided to cavity no.4 and cavity no.6. Do I have to manually change pinout in these two connectors and move 12V terminal from cavity no.5 to cavity no.6 or perhaps there is some adapter from HP that could solve this problem?
