Default 981 engine cooling fan - both sides?

I have a 2013 Boxster. When the car is hot a fan comes on near the rear of the drivers door. Is there supposed to be a engine cooling fan on both sides of the car?
I do not hear any fan on the passenger side.
Many Thanks to the forum.

Two fans, one on each side. Suggest you download the Porsche PET part pdf. https://www.porsche.com/usa/accessor...artscatalogue/

Scroll down and select the Boxster 981. If you search for the word "fan" one of them is the engine compartment fan and it lists a quantity of 2. Diagram is above. Don't see whether there is one or two temperature sensors.

I track my 2013 Boxster S with added third radiator. Several weekends ago at Summit Point it was in the upper 80s. Both of my fans came on Sunday when I came in early without a full cool down lap.
