Information processing device and management device

Abstract

Power consumption of a cooling fan of an information processing device is reduced. A processor reduces a speed of the cooling fan provided in the information processing device, and controls the cooling fan at a first speed when there is no problem with the operation of the information processing device, the first speed being obtained by reducing the speed of the cooling fan. An interface transmits first information indicating the first speed to a management device. The processor receives second information indicating a second speed from the management device that associates the first speed with identification information identifying the information processing device and stores therein the first information indicating the first speed and the identification information, and controls the speed of the cooling fan according to the second speed when the second speed is lower than the first speed.
