Pro Slim Plus QBS1250, SATA-to-mini 6-pin power cable
Hello,
I am trying to identify the appropriate SATA-to–mini 6-pin power cable needed to power a StarTech 2-Port PCI Express PoE Gigabit Network Adapter (P/N: ST2000PEXPSE) in a Dell Pro Slim Plus PC.
My understanding is that this adapter can be powered from the SATA power connector on the motherboard. Please let me know if that is correct, or if a different power source or cable is required.
Board:
SATA PWR
PCIe NIC
Thank you

It is #12 on that mainboard diagram. The cable should be this one:

“Connect either an LP4 Molex or SATA Power connector from the computer power
supply to the appropriate connector on the card.”
ejn quoted cable is Manufacturer Part 0YH0G | Dell Part 470-BFBQ

The location of the two SATA connectors is shown in the manual here if it's a QBS1250 model.

Looking to confirm SATA Power as I am trying to power the NIC card. I am wanting to confirm a the correct cable to use, if Dell has one available for sale and that the SATA PWR connector could be used for this purpose.
