It is basically a plug that allowes stuff like your bios to read the psu fan speed and such and detect if there is a failure or not. You can get programs like SandraSoft to tell you about yout PSU fan speed and stuff, but other than that, it isn't a big deal for you. It is mainly used to just to tell how fast the fan is spinning and if there is a fan failure or not.
