A fan system for an information handling system, comprising:
- a fan module, the fan module being configured to mount in a fan bay of the information handling system in a plurality of orientations;
- and,
- a fan orientation sensor, the fan orientation sensor being configured to detect an orientation of the fan module when mounted within the fan bay of the information handling system, the fan orientation sensor comprising a fan sensor circuit board, a width of the fan sensor circuit board substantially corresponding to a width of the fan module.
An information handling system comprising:
- a chassis;
- a processor mounted within the chassis;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- a storage medium coupled to the data bus;
- and,
- a fan system mounted within a fan bay of the chassis, the fan system comprising
- a fan module, the fan module being configured to mount in a fan bay of the information handling system in a plurality of orientations;
- and,
- a fan orientation sensor, the fan orientation sensor being configured to detect an orientation of the fan module when mounted within the fan bay of the information handling system, the fan orientation sensor comprising a fan sensor circuit board, a width of the fan sensor circuit board substantially corresponding to a width of the fan module.
