I have strong doubts that someone here knows that subject, so I will try my best to help.

this is your manual http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/optix/en/optiplex_7010_technical_guidebook.pdf

This 14 pin connector, how many wires attach to it, is it only 6 or 8 wires?
If yes, it would be shortened version of this connector.

8 wires

If only 6 wires, look here

So, how many wires you have?

This guide might help you manually identify your wires

Therefore, I had to use the process of elimination method to identify the pins.

I powered on the system by jumping every 2 pins on that header with the tip of a Philips screw driver until I located the "power on" pins (the power supply came on). Once I did that, I jumped the 2 pins with the corresponding "POWER SW" connector.

Next, without the hard drive connected to the MB, I took the "POWER LED" connector and jumped the rest of the pins until the LED illuminated on the front of my new case. Once that happened, I jumped the 2 pins with the corresponding "PW LED" connector.

Next, without the hard drive connected to the MOBO, I jumped the remaining pins with the "HDD LED" connector to ensure that the remaining pins will not illuminate the HDD LED on the front of the case. After doing so, I powered down the system, connected the hard drive to the MOBO and then powered on the system. You can use any method you want to initiate hard drive activity, but I chose to go to DOWNLOAD.COM. Once there, I found and downloaded a very, very large file. While the file was downloading, I jumped the remaining wires with the "HDD LED" switch until the light illuminated on the front panel of my new case.

Finally, I took the "RESET SW" connector and jumped the pins that were remaining. As I jumped each pin, I pressed the RESET button on the front of the case and the system failed to reboot on each of the remaining pins.......and yes, I reversed all of the pin connectors to determine the (+) and (-).

This is not mine, so present as is.
