Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method to provide intelligent fan control and failure isolation. According to one embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes program instructions to monitor the IHS to detect a failure in at least one of the hardware devices, isolate the failed hardware device from the other working hardware devices, and control one or more fans to operate at their optimal speed.
Claims20
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a plurality of hardware devices;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to:
- monitor the IHS to detect a failure in at least one of the hardware devices;
- isolate the failed hardware device from the other working hardware devices;
- and
- control one or more fans to operate at their optimal speed.
An intelligent fan control and failure isolation method, comprising:
- monitoring an Information Handling System (IHS) to detect a failure in at least one of a plurality of hardware devices configured in the IHS;
- isolating the failed hardware device from the other working hardware devices;
- and
- controlling one or more fans to operate at their optimal speed.
A non-transitory hardware memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- monitor the IHS to detect a failure in at least one of a plurality of hardware devices;
- isolate the failed hardware device from the other working hardware devices;
- and
- control one or more fans to operate at their optimal speed.
