Case fans are used to cool computers. These fans often blow air in from below the laptop, which is somewhat inefficient. It is far more efficient to use these fans to blow air out of the computer. Many modern laptops come with two case fans installed, but a computer repairman, or a knowledgeable computer owner, can install additional fans.

Where is the CPU fan located there are two fans need to know which one to replace when computer says CPU fan not working?

This message is generated by your motherboard's BIOS. The alert is referring to your CPU Cooler's fan which is located towards the top of your motherboard. There could be a smaller fan located in the middle section of your motherboard but that is your Northbridge chipset. It’s also possible someone has plugged in a case fan into your CPU fan header (the power plug for your CPU fan) so be sure to check your case fans as well.

Is a computer fan input or output?

Both, depending which fan you mean, as most computers will have several. Generally speaking the cpu fan blows air down onto the heatsink. The power supply fan blows air out. If you have separate case fans they will probably suck air in, which therefore creates airflow through the case in concert with the power supply fan.
