Default Radiator Fan?

I just picked up a 98 gs300 for 3500 dollars i fixed the rear main seal leak and misc. problems it had, but my question now is as soon as i start the car up the radiator fan comes on is this normal? and if i put the car key in the on position without starting the car i can hear the radiator fan blowing still is this normal? the car doesn't overheat or anything.
