Hyma There are two SATA drive power connectors, inside the D-4700 case, P3 & P5, you can use either. <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell> Bev.

Hi Bev,

Thanks for the reply. I saw the doc. In my system P4 is open and p6 is closed with black cap. Which one I have to use P4 Or P6? Can I use any one of those.

When I cantact Dell Spare parts, they said it is part # Y5528. Is this is the same one I am looking for. Could you Pl guide me.

Thanks for time,

Hyma.

If the drive is ATA/IDE then you can use P6 [4pin] just remove the black plastic safety cap.    Note = All the connectors are 'keyed', to avoid mistakes.   The Dell part # Y5528 is a SATA data cable, not a power cable, same as the cables shown here,   http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=ENE&N=2000010001+1177512111&Subcategory=1&description=&srchInDesc=&minPrice=&maxPrice= Bev.
