I think it may be you power supply fan,
some motherboards i know ,allow control and monitoring of power supply fans as well.

see if to motherboard has a psu fan controller (not the CPU fan controller)

otherwise you don't need it.
 
You must have a P4 power supply. MB's for the P4 processors require more power than the earlier P3 and Athlon processor MB's.

P4 power supplies typically have a 20 pin and a 6 pin connectors.
 
Pete, You picked the P4 right on; i hadn't seen the model number that closely before. The connector to the MB is a 20 pin but the remaining 4 pin has nowhere to go on the MB. This Gigabyte MB does not support the P4 but it does do the Athlon 1000. I will assume that i won't need to plug this anywhere. Many thanks ...Tybee
