Abstract
An information handling system includes an enclosure configured to include a duct to channel air flow in the enclosure over a first component of the information handling system. A duct sensor determines if the duct is included in the enclosure. The system receives an indication from the duct sensor that the duct is not included in the information handling system, determines that the first component is in a hot spot in the enclosure based upon the indication, and redirects a workload instantiated on the first component to a second component of the information handling system.
Claims20
An information handling system, comprising:
- a processor;
- an enclosure configured to include a duct to channel air flow in the enclosure over a first component of the information handling system;
- and
- a duct sensor configured to determine if the duct is included in the enclosure;
- wherein the processor is configured to receive a first indication from the duct sensor that the duct is not included in the information handling system, to determine that the first component is in a hot spot in the enclosure based upon the first indication, and to redirect a workload instantiated on the first component to a second component of the information handling system.
A method, comprising:
- providing, in an enclosure of an information handling system, a duct sensor configured to determine if a duct is included in the enclosure, wherein the duct is configured to channel air flow in the enclosure over a first component of the information handling system;
- receiving a first indication from the duct sensor that the duct is not included in the information handling system;
- determining that the first component is in a hot spot in the enclosure based upon the first indication;
- and
- redirecting a workload instantiated on the first component to a second component of the information handling system.
An information handling system, comprising:
- a baseboard management controller;
- a first processor;
- a second processor
- an enclosure configured to include a duct to channel air flow in the enclosure over the first processor;
- and
- a duct sensor configured to determine if the duct is included in the enclosure;
- wherein the BMC is configured to receive a first indication from the duct sensor that the duct is not included in the information handling system, to determine that the first processor is in a hot spot in the enclosure based upon the first indication, and to redirect a first workload instantiated on the first processor to the second processor.
