The exception is if someone has set the default boot state of the fans to 0%, or if the firmware is a custom build that has the fans set to 0%.
As an aside: the module will boot a little bit faster if the fans are all set to 0% as a default boot state. If the fans are set to be on at boot time, the firmware sequences turning them on one after another with a little bit of delay so the start-up current spike is not as big as it would be if all four were started at once.
If that is the case, you would need to send command 17 to set the fan power to something other than 0%.
Once you have set the fans to the power level you would like, you can again make that the default boot state by using command 4.
