It has no header on it. No connector, just bare leads. You would need to either crimp or solder on a header, or solder the bare leads to a power source.

Yup, no 4-pin or 3-pin molex connector. You'll have to either solder the wires to a spare molex connector or solder them straight to the PS...

it doesnt mean you HAVE To solder or crimp it to anything.

it DOES however mean that it is just some bare wires.

You could do something like buy/make a Fanbus. Fanbus is a speaker terminal with a molex connector on it. You plug the wire leads of the untailed fan into the terminal clips and its done!
