No this card (just like my old one) requires no power lead.  None of
the low profile GT 730 cards I've looked at appear to.

As I mentioned in my reply, one of the reviews talks about another
older Dell model whose BIOS just wouldn't recognize that thing.  I'm
pretty sure that's what I've got going on.  I talked to newegg and
arranged a return / refund.  I'll order some other model / brand and
see how I make out.

Thanks!
