Power Supply Fan.

I have just recently finished building my PC, and when I turn it on all the fans work except the one on the power supply (the thing where all the cords come from). Do I need to in something for it to work?

Don't suppose it's an Antec Smartpower unit is it? The rear fan on those is designed only to run when the PSU is working hard, and generating a lot of heat.

It's Antec Sonata II. So the back fan will only turn on when it is really hot? So this isn't a problem?

Correct. That is normal for those particular Antec PSU's.
