Default FanPressure BC and fan curve question

Hi.

Today I was running my first simulation using the fanPressure boundary condition.

Can somebody explain to me why the pressure at the inlet patch (fanPressure) and the flow rate through the system does not sit on the fan curve prescribed in the BC?

My thought was that the system curve would cross the fan curve at the operating point and I would see that flow through the system along with that pressure at the inlet.

Is my thinking wrong or have I set the boundary condition incorrectly?

Thanks.
