HHD Hard Drive

I Just got a 3.5 12 TB HHD hard drive but it doesn't power on unless I attach an additional Sata power Cord Extension.

Any clue if have to enable anything within the system to have the sata cord that is already in the desktop to work?

SATA needs 2 cables: 1 SATA cable and 1 power SATA cable. They are 2 separate cables and each SATA device needs both.
