Do you need to have the Drive cable plugged in to power to run a fan?Updated a month ago

The Drive Cable will pull power from your FireBoard to run your fan. However, the FireBoard’s runtime will be reduced when operating a fan due to more power being used to run both the fan and the FireBoard. Make sure to check on the battery if not plugged into power.

Additionally, the fan may not reach full speed on battery power alone.

When you have your Drive Cable plugged into power, it will power your fan and charge your FireBoard.
