  • Publication number: 20230229132
    Abstract: A system is provided, which manages, by a microcontroller internal to a fan installed in a server, power data associated with the fan, wherein the fan includes two pins configured to communicate signals based on an inter-integrated circuit (I2C). During operation of the fan, the microcontroller measures a first and second amount of power consumed by the fan at a first and second time. The microcontroller transmits, via the two pins, the information to a system management entity which monitors and manages the server, wherein the system management entity controls a speed of the fan in response to receiving the measured power data and based on a net power comprising a difference between a total amount of power consumed by the server and an amount of power consumed by the fan.

  • Publication number: 20230156006
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for enrollment of gateway enrollment for Internet-of-Things (IoT) device management. In some examples, a client device receives a gateway management installation package from a management service. The client device installs a gateway management application to the gateway device using the installation package. Enrollment credentials are entered through a user interface generated using the gateway management application and shown on the client device. The client device instructs the gateway management application enroll the gateway device with the management service. Usage of the enrollment credentials prevents a user from being exposed to gateway credentials that authenticate communications between the gateway device and the management service.
