Corsair Digital Interface cable: Corsair won't answer the question

Hi,

I recently bought a Corsair HX850i PSU. It comes with two Corsair Link cables. One is a USB cable which I've attached the PSU and the other end to an internal USB header on my mobo.

The other one connects via a flat 4 pin plug into the PSU, but I can't figure out where the other end plugs into. I asked Corsair support the question but they will only tell me where the USB cable connects to. After asking the question 3 times they have decided the most appropriate response is to just ignore me.

I'd really like to know where to plug this cable into. In the manual it's referred to as a "Digital Interface cable", but that's all it says. There are no instructions on where to plug it in.

Details of the PSU are at http://www.corsair.com/en-au/hxi-series-hx850i-high-performance-atx-power-supply-850-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-psu

In the image half way down you will see "Corsair Link" a 4 pin socket, a USB socket, a LED and the fan test button. It's the first 4 pin socket I'm trying to find an answer for.

You use either Corsair Link cable. Not both. In your case just use the USB version of the cable.

The other cable is for connecting to a Corsair Digital Bridge converter that converts the analog signal to a digital signal and eventually into a USB connector.
