The AUX connector is rarely used - it was meant to supply additional 5v and 3.3v power to older motherboards that need it for a second CPU. On most systems it'll have no use whatsoever beyond a convenient multimeter testing point for the 3.3v line.

Mine's just coiled up in the case doing nothing at all. Had a few thoughts of doing a volt mod to my board that would make use of it (mine needs 5v for CPU power), but I've been too lazy thus far.

The other connector is the SATA connector.
