Abstract
A baseboard management control subsystem may determine a fan speed value associated with a fan speed used to cool a particular hardware configuration of an information handling system. The baseboard management control subsystem may further determine a power value associated with a power consumed by a fan running at the determined fan speed value. The baseboard management system may manage power within the information handling system based on the determined fan speed value and the determined power value.
Claims20
A method for managing power in an information handling system, comprising:
- determining, by a baseboard management control subsystem, a fan speed value associated with a fan speed used to cool a particular hardware configuration of the information handling system;
- determining, by the baseboard management control subsystem, a power value associated with a power consumed by a fan running at the determined fan speed value;
- and
- managing power within the information handling system by the baseboard management control subsystem based on the determined fan speed value and the determined power value.
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a machine-readable medium;
- and
- instructions on the machine-readable medium, when read by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
- determine a fan speed value associated with a fan speed used to cool a particular hardware configuration of an information handling system;
- determine a power value associated with a power consumed by a fan running at the determined fan speed value;
- and
- manage power within the information handling system based on the determined fan speed value and the determined power value.
An information handling system, comprising:
- a fan;
- a processor;
- a machine-readable medium comprising instructions that, when read and executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
- determine a fan speed value associated with a fan speed used to cool a particular hardware configuration of the information handling system;
- determine a power value associated with a power consumed by a fan running at the determined fan speed value;
- and
- manage power within the information handling system based on the determined fan speed value and the determined power value.
