Doug, best practice is to continue the discussion in a single thread. Suggest you to close the current thread to avoid any confusion.

Thanks,

The drive fans are located under the system board. If you look at the back of the cover it should show you how to slide the system board away to reveal the 3 drive fans below it. Usually a clip the back of the case that you push down. The drive fans cool the hard drives.
The 4 fans that you first see when you open the cover are for the I/O and processors.
