Need some help: Split plugs + MATX mobo?

I've not built a computer in many years, apparently the guts have changed a bit.

I've got an OCZ 700W Gamexstream PSU and an Asus Rampage II Gene mobo. Now, the mobo has the typical 8-pin EATX12V connector and 24-pin EATXPWR connector. My PSU has the EATX12V connector split into two-4 pin connectors and the EATXPWR split into a 20-pin and 4-pin connectors.

Now, I see that I can just plug them in side by side but the mobo has a removable cap in 4 of the EATX12V connectors...

So my question is, what do I need to plug in? All? Some? None (ok, probably not none)?

I tried Googling and found nothing helpful.

Thanks!
 
Yeah, all should be plugged in.

The +4 on the ATX connection is for the PCI-E slot. (Unless I'm mistaken)
And the other divides because not all boards have an 8 pin plug. Like my Asus only has a 4 pin connection and if the 8 pin from the PSU didn't separate this heatsink mount wouldn't let it plug in.
