R5E10 Unknown Cable on MOBO

I have a 5 female cable that is disconnected from Male pins on the MOBO. I don't think it was ever connected. The cable wires are Black, Lt Orange, Green, White, and Orange. It is located at bottom left of the Dimm A1 memory stick. Also to the left of "CHA_Fan3. The female connection comes out from under the lower end of the shield that covers external connections, USB, Ethernet, and more.

What is the purpose of cable and does it need to be connected?

Good afternoon.
This is the AURA I/O panel backlight connector.

Got it. Looks good. I had to partly remove the cover to get to the tiny cable. I was able to remove the screws on the bottom of cover but the chrome tube prevented removing the cover completely.

Thanks for the help.
