Abstract:
A method for controlling a fan is described and includes controlling a rotation speed of a fan according to a first rotation speed time-variable rate by a controller, and controlling the rotation speed of the fan according to a second rotation speed time-variable rate by the controller in response to a change in an operating parameter of a target device, where the fan and target device are for use in a computer system.
