7960 - HSBP Power Dongle-Cable
I have a 7960 with one SATA and one NVME backplane installed at the front. I have sourced a second NVME backplane and data cable and intend to install it instead of the SATA backplane. The user manual gives instructions but referes to:
"The HSBP power dongle-cable is required when both flex0 and flex1 is installed with NVMe module."
I have searched the online for this part but have not found it. Can anyone explain what it is? Is it included in the 7960 wiring? If not, where do I get it? Is it simply a 2 to 1, six pin power cable?
Clarification will be much appreciated.

I have now connected this backplane using the power cable for the SATA backplane and it is working as it should. The service manual seems to be badly worded and perhaps should say that the dongle (power splitter cable?) should be used when rear backplanes are also installed.
