You need a power adapter... Black is negative, red is positive and hook the wires up. Make sure the power adapter is the same power-wise for the fan and you'll be all set. (sodder the wires and then tape them... Best bet)

right okay so because its a 12 v DC fan i need a AC power adapter . oh and i cant remember do we use cirect curent or alternating current in the uk ( i know as much as thomas eddison and tesslar argued over which was better wow i do listen to my science teacher lol )

If its a 12V DC fan then you need a 12V DC power supply.
