You can enable the serial port by adding this line:
enable_uart=1
in the file /boot/efi/config.txt and rebooting the Pi. If that doesn't work for you,
you might consider temporarily loading a copy of Raspbian on an SD card just to do the fan
setup, since that is what the hardware manufacturer expects you to be using.
After configuring the fan, then put your Fedora SD card back in. The manual you linked to
says that the settings are stored in EEPROM, so they should be remembered when you switch
back to Fedora.

Yes, Raspian, although not mentioned explicitly in the manual.

Can you actually link to the hardware and the instructions you're
attempting to follow/convert, it saves people actually trying to
guess/interpret what that may be.

I take it they're the details for Raspbian?
