Preamps with phantom power will have an output jack of some sort. Depending on the jack and the one one your sound card you might need an adapter cable of some type.

Be aware: don't connect or disconnect your mic while phantom power is on.

The preamp is needed for all microphones. Good ones are extremely expensive.

Here is a wealth of info, if the links are still working:
