Default hooking up fans?

How do I hook fans up? There is cha_fan 1, cha_fan 2, and power fan. I have a fan mounted on top, side, and front. At a loss where or how to hook fans up and to what? I am using this case with an asus mobo

Code:
Coolermaster 932 full tower case
YouTube - CoolerMaster HAF 932 Full-Tower Case

motherboard
Asus P7P55D Pro Motherboard - Intel P55, Socket LGA1156, Core i5 at TigerDirect.com

and I dont know what power supply connectors go to what?
Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan, Lifetime Warranty at TigerDirect.com

also when hooking up 2 hard drives (non-raid) can they be hooked up to the same power cable?

Some fans come with a four pin molex block connector AND smaller connectors that plug directly onto motherboard, useing the headers will allow you to run asus cool and quiet uttility and tailor the speed of fans with app you can download from their site but i avoid useing it, you can also adjust speed of fans in bios , but they will work just as well if you use the ordinary molex plugs,

yes you can connect two drives with same lead but unless your installing a raid array, just connect the drive with the os for now and connect the other after os is installed initialise and format drive and it will show up in computer, if you connect both up installation can halt itself for some reason, just doesnt like two drives connected when installing os, might be alright if your useing 7.

I believe I have those 4pin molex's on my PSU cables. So forget connecting the fans onto the motherboard and connect them to the power supply? Is that what you're saying?

Yes, useing the motherboard headers can be bit tidier but molex connector will do same job.
