Is there a way to fire up the fans on the S9 for a period of time (let's say like 15 minutes) without any power running to the the hash boards (or even controller if possible)? I have an application where the S9s will be in an relatively external environment, and I want a safe way to start them up while ensuring there is no condensation when the unit is powered up. The condensation could occur after the units have been shut down and have cooled, and the ambient humidity has condensed. Assume I cannot have a back-up heater installed.

Any simple modifications anyone can think of? Maybe a small change to the firmware?

ya but he would need to rig up something that will control the relay at a set time of the day and he would need to have a device that separates the fan power from the controller board and the external psu while still communicating the fan speed to the miner. and he would need the same setup for the external psu because that will have the same issue the miner will have when running outside and so on and so forth. the build out for this would be terrible just to run the fans for 15 minutes automatically before the miner turns on after being shut off. it already sounds like one of those rough goldberg machines lol.

im shocked u arent commenting on him running a high powered electronic device in such conditions to begin with. i expected u to beat me to it bud.
