No, the speaker is for a speaker, not a fan. You can generally get an adapter to lug the fans in to a molex (the one for hard drives/optical drives) or other power connectors. Something like this. but specific to your fan connectors... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CjkKEQjw5qmdBRCn--70gPSo074BEiQAJCe7zWeayUSH_C0CXh5h4LFbqDz8bCpLhljV5HjbNY_HwTnw_wcB&Item=N82E16812311003&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwordsCA-_-pla-_-Internal+Power+Cables-_-N82E16812311003&ef_id=Ui9lJgAABXVy-LQZ:20140625154130:s

What is speaker used for then it is not used

What do you call port in which cabinet fan is put?

The fan headers are marked on the board. The CPU cooler fan should be installed into the one marked CPU fan. The other fan headers are probably marked "system fans."

can also plug case fans directly to the PSU.

All is laid out in the MB manual.

The speaker is for use with a speaker, if you don't have a case speaker then there is no use for the connector.
