I just recently purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad 510y with the ultrabay slot with the blu-Ray option. I also purchased the extra graphics card, plugged it in yesterday and ran a game on the laptop for about and hour and a half and noticed the fan wasn't working on that side. The laptop recognized the extra graphics card but I'm not sure if it is actually working. Does the computer not use the extra graphics card if it is not needed? Or did I get a bad piece of hardware?

Check the %usage of the graphics card with Afterburner.

Some Lenovo you have to switch off the integrated graphics and turn on the pcie graphics in bios. Check your manual.
