Follow the instructions... but basically it requires molex power and has 3 pin extensions cables that let you wire them around the case and control each fan by each slider on the front.

Instead of plugging your fans into your mother board you plug them into the fan controller. Not sure if you was looking for a more in depth answer tho?

You wouldn't use your fan headers on the motherboard at all and replace it with that unit basically. I would however leave the CPU based fan on the motherboard header.

Basically yes, since it will let you manually control the fans.
