To have your fan tray power run at all times (regardless of the temperature), remove the temperature
probe/thermistor, and replace it with a bypass loop as shown. The unit will then run whenever it is
connected to a power supply. Save temperature probe/thermistor for later use. (FIGURE F)
NOTE: If the tray is used in the rear of the rack to reduce static pressure, the temperature probe/thermistor
should be placed near the top of the rack where the heat rises
