Default plug heat sink into rx question

Hey guys,
I have a spektrum SR3000 and a heat sink with cooling fan that has a Futaba connector. I need to know if I can plug this fan into the receiver and if so,what port?

you should be able to plug it in
all futaba, spektrum, jr, hitec plugs are the same, but airtronics and sanwa need the plug modified

Thanks bro,
I didn't ask the question clear enough. I actually needed to know what port to plug it into and if it would be ok if I was running a 3s lipo. The fan is only rated for up to 7.2V

the 11.1 volts runs through the speedy and the bec reduces the voltage down to 6 volts and the 6 volts powers the reciever, giving all of the ports 6 volts to run servo's, cooling fans etc
