I need some help with installing an LTO-5 tape drive.

The LTO-5 drive has a 29-pin 8482 connector on it.  I bought at SAS card and a break-out cable that goes from a single 8087 to 4 cables each with a 29-pin 8482 connector.  Each of these 8482 cable connectors has a 4-pin male Molex dangling from it.

According to the install instructions, it says to "ensure that a 4-pin Molex connector is plugged into the power inputs of the SAS cable as shown in figure 5."  I have attached the figure. It shows the 4-pin Molex connector dangling off the 8482 cable connector but unconnected to anything.  Just like what I have.

Is the 4-pin Molex supposed to dangle like that or is it supposed to be plugged into a 4-pin female Molex?

Confused by the dangling Molex...

Thanks!
