Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) includes a chassis. A processor is located in the chassis. A memory is located in the chassis and coupled to the processor. A disk drive is located in the chassis and coupled to the processor. An accelerometer is located in the chassis. A controller is located in the chassis and coupled to the accelerometer. The controller is operable, in response to a wake indicator signal associated with an IHS wake operation, to use the accelerometer to determine that the movement of the IHS exceeds a threshold and, in response, prevent the IHS wake operation such that operation of the disk drive is not initiated.

Abstract: Usage data monitored at information handling systems is collected and analyzed to provide a basis for component selection for information handling systems by associating components with end user usage profiles. For example, a monitor tracks usage data at an end user information handling system and determines that the end user's usage falls within usage pattern defined by analysis of plural other end users. The end user is directed towards selection of components associate with the defined usage pattern to replace components of the information handling system or for use in a replacement information handling system. Analysis on an enterprise-wide basis helps an enterprise to allocate components and information handling systems to end users of an enterprise.

Abstract: A sudden acceleration testing apparatus includes a base. A support surface is moveably coupled to the base, wherein the support surface is operable to move relative to the base in order to create a sudden acceleration event. At least one vacuum device is located on the support surface and operable to couple a sudden acceleration test specimen to the support surface. A sudden acceleration test specimen such as, for example, an information handling system, may be coupled to the support surface for sudden acceleration testing by providing a vacuum between the sudden acceleration test specimen and the vacuum device.
