Most people never plug an ADAT into the ADAT port. It's an optical data port which was originally used on ADAT, but has been adopted by several other vendors.

With ProTools, most people use it to hook up external AD/DA and preamp boxes, like the Digimax LT, the Behringer ada8000... of course, if you have an ADAT lying around, you can use it with the ADAT port to get 8 more channels.
