Fan connector issue...

Hey guys, I recently received my 92 MM Panaflow fans. I haven't been able to connect them, however, because they came with no standard power supply connectors. Instead, the ends contain exposed wire, stemming from the red and black cables. So, what am i supposed to do here?

here is the link of the fan.. and this is something u missed

"This is a 92x92x25mm fan running at 1.8 watts, 48 CFM, and 30 dB-A. (P9743-ND)

Options: This fan comes with bare wires / leads, without dc power connectors (as shown in picture). This allows easy connection to devices such as FanBus. We can attach 4-pin or 3-pin connections to this fan for you for $2."

now you'll have to send it back or do it yourself.. im sure some1 can link to a site to do it..

hope that all helps

Order a power adapter like this one and cut off the 3 pin connector. Then join the wires from the fan to the wires from the adapter and solder the joint. Use shrink wrap tubing to cover the joint.
