Solution
You can connect only 2 wires to external PSU. One for Ground (-) and other for 12Vdc (+). Middle one on the connector is +12v and when you look at fan connector with small ears sticking out of it facing up, ground wire would be to the left. Far right one is for speed sensing and can't and shouldn't be used for application like that.
