    Hi

    Could you post a photo of this fan and its wires as some fans come with extra power connectors so that you can link another fan to in a daisychain.

    If the one not hooked up has a larger connector and a yellow,red and black wire (or just red and black if 2 wire) then its likely a spare connector so that you can plug the fan directly into a PSU power connector and run the fan at full speed all the time, but if its working with what I'm guessing is the smaller connector into the MB then your ok no need to hook this one up as the fan power is comming from the MB.

    Hi

    Its likely to be one that needs to be plugged into a power connector from the Power Supply Unit, found this pic on the net that maybe what you have
