Need Cable Location Info

When adding a SSD to my Lenovo M72e Tower, I disconnected (I think) a cable with Red Black and Violet wires from the motherboard. I have no idea where it goes, though I suspect it attaches to a 4 pin location on the front edge of the MB. I just don't know what the orientation is. Any ideas? I can't find the placement or mention of the 3-wire connector anywhere. I suppose it's possible it never was connected
