Abstract
A fan control method and a network device. The method includes acquiring a temperature of a target position in the network device, determining, according to the temperature of the target position, that one air duct in a first air duct corresponding to a first air vent of the network device and a second air duct corresponding to a second air vent of the network device is a cold air duct, and that the other air duct is a hot air duct, where the first air vent and the second air vent are air vents for heat dissipation disposed for the network device in advance, and setting a rotation direction of a fan of the network device, so that cold air is inhaled from an air vent corresponding to the cold air duct, and hot air is exhausted from an air vent corresponding to the hot air duct

A fan control method, applied to a network device, and comprising:
- acquiring a temperature of a target position in the network device;
- determining, according to the temperature of the target position, that one air duct in a first air duct corresponding to a first air vent of the network device and a second air duct corresponding to a second air vent of the network device is a cold air duct, and that the other air duct is a hot air duct, wherein the first air vent and the second air vent are air vents for heat dissipation disposed for the network device in advance;
- and
- setting a rotation direction of a fan of the network device, so that cold air is inhaled from an air vent corresponding to the cold air duct, and hot air is exhausted from an air vent corresponding to the hot air duct.
A network device, comprising:
- a processor, a fan, a first air vent, a second air vent, and at least one temperature sensor, wherein the first air vent corresponds to a first air duct, the second air vent corresponds to a second air duct, and the first air vent and the second air vent are air vents for heat dissipation disposed for the network device in advance;
- and the processor is configured to:
- acquire a temperature of a target position in the network device by using the at least one temperature sensor;
- determine, according to the temperature of the target position, that one air duct in the first air duct and the second air duct is a cold air duct, and that the other air duct is a hot air duct;
- and
- set a rotation direction of the fan of the network device, so that cold air is inhaled from an air vent corresponding to the cold air duct, and hot air is exhausted from an air vent corresponding to the hot air duct.
