The fan on the emod side panel doesn't do any cooling itself.  What it
DOES do is cause turbulence, which moves the cooling air to the places
that it really needs to be.  Otherwise we would have just used a higher
capacity main fan.  And yes, it IS funky.  It will almost certainly
go away in a future ECO, as parts with higher margins become available,
etc.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
