That case has a fan controller to manually control the speed of up to 3 fans. Your case fans plug into those connectors and the fan controller's Molex male connector plugs into any PSU Molex female connector.

Thank you for the quick reply so I just plug in other fans to those plugs to control them with the fan controller right? Also Zalman 9500A came with its own controller is there anyway to connect the cpu cooler to the fan controller?

On your first point, correct. The case's fan controller connects directly to the Molex connector from the PSU. The case's fans then connect to the 3 male fan connectors coming from the controller. (the ones you are holding in the pics)

On your second point, NO! Do not ever connect the CPU cooler's fan to anything other than the 4 pin header on the motherboard that is marked CPU FAN. The MB needs to see the fan's speed to control it through a process called PWM. If there is no fan connected to that 4 pin header, the MB will think the fan has stopped and the PC will shut down or possibly not even start.
