The pwm associated with the lowest cooling level may be lower than the pwm necessary to start a fan. The fan controller would start a fan by applying the "start fan" pwm value for a period of time, then reduce the pwm to the desired pwm value for the running fan. I'll be happy to dig up datasheet references if needed. Guenter
