all the way on the right is a 4 pn power connector all the way on the left is where you plug in the sata cord to the computer then your all set
 
Uhh... not quite.

That hard drive has both SATA and Molex power connectors... they made it that way so that you could use either, but never use both at the same time.

The far right is Molex power, your standard power. The far left is SATA power, which is slowly replacing Molex. The middle left is for the SATA data transfer cable.
