Patent number: 11308064Abstract: Methods and systems for supporting similar thermal devices may involve collecting, by a thermal module on a management controller of an information handling system, device information about an add-in card, determining whether the add-in card was previously defined by matching the device against a table, searching the table based on the determination that the add-in card was not previously defined, determining whether the add-in card is supported by finding a match in the table, and applying a thermal tier associated with the match in the table based on the determination that the add-in card is supported. The device information collected may involve at least two of a reseller part number, description, device identifier, sub device identifier, vendor identifier, sub vendor identifier, slot identifier, lane width, and auxiliary power indicator. The search of the table may involve at least one of the description, lane width, and sub vendor identifier.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Dinesh Kunnathur Ragupathi, Akkiah Choudary Maddukuri, Alaric Joaquim Narcissius Silveira, Danny Daniel Whittington, Arun Muthaiyan, Venkatesh Ramamoorthy, Carlos Guillermo Henry

Patent number: 10827651Abstract: An airflow characterization system includes a first airflow sensor subsystem positioned at a first location on an airflow characterization board base and a second airflow sensor subsystem positioned at a second location on the airflow characterization board base that is different than the first location. An airflow characterization controller is coupled to the first airflow sensor subsystem and the second airflow sensor subsystem. When the airflow characterization board is positioned in a circuit board slot, the airflow characterization controller receives a first airflow signal from the first airflow sensor subsystem during a first time period and receives a second airflow signal from the second airflow sensor subsystem during the first time period. The airflow characterization controller determines a circuit board slot airflow characterization for the circuit board slot based on the first airflow signal and the second airflow signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Hasnain Shabbir, Dominick Adam Lovicott, Carlos Guillermo Henry
