Claims21
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a fan;
- a plurality of power supply units configured to supply power to the fan;
- and
- a reception unit configured to receive, from the fan, a signal indicating a state of the fan,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of power supply units that supplies power to the fan also supplies power to the reception unit.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a fan;
- a first power supply unit configured to supply power to the fan;
- a first monitoring unit configured to monitor an output from the first power supply unit;
