Dell Support response is basically. 1) Configuration not tested. 2) Motherboard 3.1 Type-C connector not guaranteed to function, not a feature of this configuration. 3) You can try it. Not happy with the response, but it is what it is.

My 5676 (with Ryzen 7 2700X and Radeon RX 580) has these front panel connectors: [IMAGE] Labled as Connector #2 - USB 3.1. Gen 1 port Connector #5 - USB 3.1 Gen 1 port with PowerShare Connectors #4 - USB 2.0 ports (quantity of 2) Ok, I get it that my particular model doesn't have the front panel type-c usb connector, but it does have a USB 3.1 Type-C connector on the motherboard. My question is this: Can I purchase an adapter part that connects to the motherboard 3.1 Type-C 20-pin connector to one or more USB 3.1 Type-C connectors on a PCIe slot cover? I have found one such adapter, but apparently it doesn't have any kind of circuit board to provide multiple ports (just has one type-c port).

Or does it need something special like a dock connected to it?
