Hi there
I just bought a new computer and when i opened it up i noticed something that i'm not quite sure about. The connector that goes from the power supply to the mainboard is a 20 pin connector but the socket is a 24 pin socket. There is another 4 pin connector that also comes from the P/S that fits together with the 20 pin but it is not connected. Is this used for something else or should this be connected? Here's a link to a picture:

Ive been adding hardware but i dont wanna fire it up until i know for sure. Since i opened the case my MDG warranty is void (which is complete BS if you ask me but that's another story) so i dont want to screw anything up. thanks
