For anyone else facing this issue, I wanted to write about my experience.
I too had a XS724EM in which all three fans spin at startup but only one remained active afterwards. It turns out only one of the internal fan headers was functional. What I did was open up the switch and connect all the fans to the working fan header with a 3-pin fan splitter cable. Ideally, the cable should be a 3-pin splitter as shown in the attachment, not a 4-pin splitter.
This XS724EM has now been operating without issue for almost 2 years in a commercial environment.
