So you have an SSD solution that you slot into one of your Pci-e slots of your motherboard.
What do you need to know ?
In answer to your question providing you have a free Pci-e slot on your motherboard it will work ok with a Asrock z97 extreme 4 motherboard.
Slot the card in a Pci-e slot of the board.
If you wish to use the 750 as a boot able drive with windows os installed on it.
After you have fitted the card to your motherboard.
Enter the bios and see if it is listed as a drive.

You don`t need one, just simply plug the Intel 750 SSD Pci-based card into a free Pci-e card slot of your Asrock motherboard.
For the drive to work so you can install data or windows OS on to it or format the Intel 750 SSD it`s all you should need to do.
If you then look in your bios the Intel 750 card will be listed as a hard drive or a data storage device.

Learn something everyday! This is the first time I'm hearing of such a connector. I made the mistake of generalizing at first 
.
Here is an article that may be relevant: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2904340/intel-750-series-ssd-review-storage-so-fast-only-the-highest-end-pcs-can-keep-up.html
It confirms that it is indeed compatible with a PCI-E 2.0 x4, but will be somewhat limited to 2GBps. This is significant because the drive has been reported to reach 3.5GBps, and under official testing reached 2.7GBps.
Keep in mind though that even bottlenecked those speeds are simply astronomical, and almost 4x faster than the Samsung 850 EVO series.

To answer your PM:
A M.2 Gen2 x2 slot has a bandwidth of 10Gbps. Note that this is ten Gigabits, not Gigabytes. This works out to 1.25GBps, which means that the SSD will operate at a maximum of ~1.25 Gigabytes per second transfer rate when installed in your motherboard.
To put that into perspective, that is a little more than twice the rated speed of a Samsung 850 EVO series SSD.

Hmmmm, that link is broken it seems. Here is what you'd need: Click here.
There are cheaper ones, but I recommend sticking with your motherboard manufacturer's adapter to prevent any incompatibilities.
