  • Patent number: 10642326
    Abstract: A cooling system includes a chassis. A thermal sensor is located in the chassis. A plurality of fan zones are located in the chassis. Each of the plurality of fan zones includes at least one fan. A first mapping is provided between the thermal sensor and a first fan zone of the plurality of fans zone, and a second mapping is provided between the first fan zone and a second fan zone in the plurality of fan zones. A controller is coupled to the thermal sensor and the at least one fan in each of the plurality of fan zones. In response to receiving a signal from the thermal sensor, the controller is operable to activate the at least one fan in the first fan zone according to the first mapping and activate the at least one fan in the second fan zone according to the second mapping.

  • Patent number: 8634192
    Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) cooling system includes an IHS chassis defining an IHS chassis air inlet. A cooling chassis supports the IHS chassis on a support base. An air supply duct extends from the cooling chassis such that an air supply duct outlet on the air supply duct is immediately adjacent the IHS chassis air inlet. An air cooling subsystem is located in the cooling chassis and is operable to cool air that is drawn into the cooling chassis and supply the cooled air to the IHS chassis air inlet through the air supply duct. The IHS chassis may be a conventional IHS chassis that is designed for sub-35 degree Celsius ambient temperatures, and the cooling chassis may be provided for the conventional IHS chassis when used in extreme environments with high ambient temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius.
