Question odd power connection on industrial m/b

[bcconner]

Hi,
I picked up an IM-945GSE-B motherboard that has a 4 pin power supply on the m/b itself, fed by a cable. The other end of the cable looks like a SATA power cable on steroids. Never seen one like it before.

Anyone have an idea what type of power supply I would want to match to this?

Thanks!

That's a Sata data and power combo cable and the end in the picture is meant to plug into a sata drive.

Oh! Ok... now that makes sense. There is also a 4-pin connector on the m/b labled 'For HDD'. Now I know what that's for.

Thanks much! Never saw one molded together like that. Works for me.
