They stick old 4 pin peripheral connectors on the motherboard for folks who don't have the right power supply. As long as you have the 24 pin main connector you don't need the old 4 pin peripheral connector. They used to stick the old peripheral connector on motherboards all the time but you don't see them very often anymore. Now they just expect you to use a new power supply with the correct connector. As it is, almost all your power is being drawn through the 8 pin EPS 12 volt motherboard connector and the two PCI-Express video card connectors anyway. The peripheral connector is just for the motherboard and slots if you've got a 20 pin power supply. Just ignore the peripheral connector.
