Where do i connect my H100I v2 to my motherboard ?

Alright so ive got the H100I and MSI Z270 M3 Gaming Motherboard. Just wondering where exactly am i meant to put all the cables to ? it has 1 CPU Fan Connecter, 1 4-pin water pump fan connecter and 4 system fan connectors.
Assuming that the H100I fans connect to the system fan connecters ? OR do you need like a splitter to connect to the CPU Fan Header ?

The CPU fan connector plugs into your CPU fan header. The 4-pin pump power is a molex lead, and will plug into an available 4-pin molex cable running from your power supply. The rest of the 3-pin fans plug into your system fan headers. You can get a couple Y splitters for the system fan headers to run the push pair of fans from one header, and the pull pair from another so that you can free up some fan headers for case fans. Make note of which fans are plugged into which headers - especially if you plan on using splitters - because you'll need to know which headers to set the fan curves on with software or in your BIOS.

Alright thanks for that. I've recently watched a couple unboxing videos and it looks like it already has a Y splitter integrated on the cooler ? Might be mistaken for something else but pretty certain that's what the cable was for. Again, thankyou !
