Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, based on at least one metric, that an information handling device is experiencing a restricted airflow condition; decreasing, responsive to the detecting, a system power setting of the information handling device during a duration of the restricted airflow condition; and restoring, subsequent to detecting that the information handling device is no longer experiencing the restricted airflow condition; the system power setting. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting, based on at least one metric, that an information handling device is experiencing a restricted airflow condition during transport of the information handling device;
- decreasing, responsive to the detecting, a system power setting of the information handling device during a duration of the restricted airflow condition, wherein the decreasing the system power setting comprises dynamically decreasing the system power setting by disabling at least one function of the device that would not be leveraged during the transport of the information handling device;
- and
- restoring, subsequent to detecting that the information handling device is no longer experiencing the restricted airflow condition;
- the system power setting.
An information handling device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
- detect, based on at least one metric, that an information handling device is experiencing a restricted airflow condition during transport of the information handling device;
- decrease, responsive to the detecting, a system power setting of the information handling device during a duration of the restricted airflow condition, wherein the decreasing the system power setting comprises dynamically decreasing the system power setting by disabling at least one function of the device that would not be leveraged during the transport of the information handling device;
- and
- restore, subsequent to detecting that the information handling device is no longer experiencing the restricted airflow condition;
- the system power setting.
A product, comprising:
- a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that detects, based on at least one metric, that an information handling device is experiencing a restricted airflow condition during transport of the information handling device;
- code that decreases, responsive to the code that detects, a system power setting of the information handling device during a duration of the restricted airflow condition, wherein the decreasing the system power setting comprises dynamically decreasing the system power setting by disabling at least one function of the device that would not be leveraged during the transport of the information handling device;
- and
- code that restores, subsequent to the code that detects that the information handling device is no longer experiencing the restricted airflow condition;
- the system power setting.
