Probably because the software controlling the fans is only active when the
OS is running. I don't know if the OBP actually does anything intelligent
with environmental control monitoring in any of Sun's recent workstations. 

I've got a Shuttle compact PC here which runs the fan at full-tilt when
turned on and whenever doing a system reboot. Once the BIOS sorts out what's
going on and Windows (grrrr) Xp loads up it's fine.
