Intel Raid Controller RS2BL040 SGPIO Question

Parts I am using:

Intel Server Chassis P4000S Family

Intel Server System P4304BT

Raid Controller RS2B040

My Question is the SPIO Connector on the 4x3.5" Backplane has 5 pins (the motherboard S1200BTL also has 5 pin SGPIO), while the SGPIO cable from the RAID Controller has only a 4-pin connector.

Do I need to connect the SGPIO Connector from the RAID Controller RS2BL040 to the Backplane SGPIO Connector?

Do I keep the motherboard SGPIO Connector Connected to Backplanes SGPIO Connector?

or, Do I have the wrong RAID Controller.

Thank you.
