I have just installed my system into a Corsair Air 240 case. My previous case only had one fan but this one has 3.

How to I run all 3 fans, I assume not all from the one header on the mobo?
 
You should have two or three fan headers, one specific for the CPU and one or two 'system' headers.

You can set them up many different ways.

If you have more fans than headers then you'll need a 3/4 pin splitter or Y cable depending on what fans they are.
 
What is your motherboard? Most should have three headers at least.

If not however, what you posted will be fine as long as your fans are three pin. If you want pwm, you would need a different splitter for 4 pin.
 
I would just run the rear and 1 front fan first, see what the temps are like.
Some mb's dont have the power output on a single fan header, to run too many fans

Get a splitter to match the number of pins on the sys fan header, and the number of pins on the fans connector
