My batch 3 standard unit's fan is making grinding noises while it is running and this was recently received in January.  Is there anyway to replace this fan?  If I place the unit on the side, the grinding noise is minimal.

Well known issue; the small fan on the SBC is pretty shitty. Contact customer support and they'll send you out another

It's been over a month and they still can't figure out the issue.  It's very frustrating, they sent me a new fan and it keeps running at over 5,000 RPMs.  They sent me a new firmware and that hasn't resolved the issue.  I have 4 of these running and the latest run is having all the issues.
