*EDIT* - i'm unsure if you are able to see the linked images, as I am in work and my work proxy filters out imgur embedded images - so i will include an additional link below each picture just to be sure.
Hi guys I have quite a few questions and I would greatly appreciate any input,
I'm halfway through my first build , I've just got the GPU and a few case things to wire up.
I'm just a bit confused about where some of the wires connect.
So the following is the power for LEDS and stuff I assume. Firstly, what is this connection called and where does it go?

The following is the front panel header from my motherboard manual.
My second question is, does that power connector from above - correspond to these front panel headers?

Because I have already plugged in a few of these, (POWER SW and HDD LED) but there is no indication on the end of the connectors as to which side is negative and which side is positive. The only one which indicates polarity is the HDD LED, so does this mean that it doesn't matter for the others?
Also I kind of like to understand what the function of all these are, if anyone could outline what they are actually for I would be grateful.
Finally, I'm perplexed as to how my case fans connect (I'm using a Phanteks eclipse 400S) and the following is an image from my manual - although I don't think my actually fan connections look like this.

As you can see, it says in this image that the PH-CB-Y3P is not included, however coming out of the rear side of my case I can see something slightly resembling this connection. I think one of the splitters is already connected to a fan - that leaves 1 side of the splitter exposed for a new connection. I just don't know what I am supposed to connect to this splitter because it doesn't connect directly to the mobo, and none of the PSU cables seem to fit it either.
I know that I need a 4-pin connector for the SYS_FAN header on my motherboard, but it really seems that neither my case nor my motherboard came with any sort of 4 pin fan connector.
If you guys could tell me what the adapter is called that I need to buy for my fans that would be great.
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.
