    you probably mean it has the 3 pin pc connector on it.ok,cut that off and join a black wire from the charger to a red wire from the fan and join the other black wire from the charger to the black wire of the fan..I am not 100% sure if that is the correct way if not it will not spin at all,I have 3 fans and if the wires are the wrong way it won't spin or if the right way it will spin..Make sure you have a charger more powerful then the fan itself..
