  • Systems and methods for thermal management of an information handling system including determination of optimum slot location for information handling resource
    Patent number: 10095288
    Abstract: A system may include a plurality of temperature sensors configured to sense temperatures at a plurality of locations associated with an information handling system, a cooling subsystem comprising at least one cooling fan configured to generate a cooling airflow in the information handling system, and a thermal manager communicatively coupled to the plurality of temperature sensors and the cooling subsystem. The thermal manager may be configured to, based on at least a power provided to a subsystem of the information handling system, estimate a thermal condition proximate to the subsystem, correlate each of a plurality of components of the subsystem and a linear airflow velocity requirement of the component to a respective speed of the at least one cooling fan required to provide such airflow requirement, and set a speed of the at least one cooling fan based on the respective speeds.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING AIR MOVER SPEED DURING BOOT OF INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170318708
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include an air mover control system configured to, during a boot session of an information handling system, determine an initial air mover speed to be applied to an air mover during a second boot session based on a hardware configuration of the information handling system, and store a variable indicative of the initial air mover speed, such that the air mover control system may apply the initial air mover speed during boot of the second boot session.
