rax200 fan - Is it supposed to run?

I see a what appears to be a fan on the RAX200 .... does it ever run?  Is there someway to test or make it run?  I've been unable to find any references to it.   Thanks for any response.

    Fans are usually there to cool a processor when it is working hard, or when the ambient temperature gets too high.

    The only time mine runs is when its powering on. I've rarely gotten the fan to run during usage.  the only times was when I was truly stress testing it for hours at a time
