Need info for Sapphire x850 XT AGP card

At one time these cards were pretty widely used so I am hoping someone still has a manual or remembers info on the card. I recently bought one for an aging AGP system. On the back edge of the card at the upper corner is a Molex connector for the external power input, but just below it is a yellow miniature four pin connector which I at first thought might be an alternative power connector. But it isn't the right size for that. Do any of you know what that connector is for?

I have searched on net and cannot find the manual and drivers to download. I did find a stupid Sapphire installation sheet that starts by saying you will have to open the computer case to install the card -- and then goes downhill from there. I haven't installed the card yet since the old ATI it is to replace is working just fine. I bought a KingWin Heat Pipe VGA Cooler model KWVC-3 on e-Bay today and plan to replace the reputably very noisy fan/heatsink it comes with with the KWVC-3 once I am sure everything is OK.

Thanks for your help.

Either a video connector or a cd-audio input.

edit: leaning towards cd-audio in but I honestly never used it. Those are VIVO capable cards.
