I just upgraded the above mentioned mac with a MACh Carrier G4 MPe 450 MHz G4 processor. There is a power cable on the processor card. The paper work that came with the processor is not very clear, I think they mentioned something about a dual processor which I don't have. Could somebody please clear the air for me.
The MPe upgrade cards were designed to accept a secondary module for installing dual G4 ZIFs. This was called the MPe Velocity, and only a few were ever made before XLR8 went out of biz. That extra power lead is almost certainly for the Velocity module. I'd just tape off the lead so it doesn't accidentally contact anything that could potentially short out.
