Weird power supply

Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

The second port is just passthrough power output if you want to daisy chain devices, it does not need to be plugged in.

I got a computer tower looking thing at a garage sale for $10. After doing some research I found out it was a stand alone DVD and CD copyer.  The only problem is the power supply has 2 ports one is the regular female power connector and the other is the male version set into the power supply.(I have attached a picture) I don't want to just plug it in in case that it would fry it if you can tell me what the other port does that would be great.
