MAC ATI RADEON 5870 CARD DOES NOT HAVE POWER CONNECTOR PORTS

Hi,


I purchased a "MAC" ATI RADEON 5870 CARD but when I tried to connect it, I noticed that there were no "6 pin" power input ports. I purchased this for a 2010 Mac Pro and it's prior card had one input power input "6 pin" connector from the motherboard. Is my card missing something? Is it not a valid MAC ATI RADEON card? HELP!!

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

I knew I needed connectors. I have a 6 to 6 pin already. I've ordered a 2nd one. What I meant in my orioginal post was that I didn't see anywhere to connect the 6 pin wire. In my old graphics card, the connection is in the back. After posting this, I took another look at the replacement card. The INPUTS are now located on the side of the card. So I've actually solved this...much to my chagrin.
