Abstract:
An information handling system (IHS) includes spatially diverse IHS components and temperature sensors disposed with respect to the spatially diverse IHS components. A fan controller defines cooling sections of the IHS for spatially diverse fans based on topological information as to locations of the spatially diverse IHS components, and selectively controls the spatially diverse fans according to component temperatures obtained from the temperature sensors and according to the cooling sections.
