Known Information:

The needed connector has been identified as Molex part number 436450400, the pinout is unknown, but the two middle Pins (2 and 3) seem to be connected to Ground

Hello,

I was able to score a LTO-6 Tape drive prior used inside a tape library, I've removed the sled from It, and It revealed to me that It uses Fibre Channel. The main issue is what I assume to be the 4-pin header on the left, I've been unable to identify what this header is or what It's pinout is (I assume it is used for power). Does anyone perhaps have any advice for identification?
