COOLING CAPABILITY DEGRADATION DIAGNOSIS IN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM: abstract simplified (17738143)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17738143 Titled 'COOLING CAPABILITY DEGRADATION DIAGNOSIS IN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an information handling system that includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores data related to cooling fans and other components in the system. The processor receives two sets of data - one for a baseline cooling condition and another for the current cooling condition. It then compares a subset of data from each set to determine if they are substantially equal. If they are, the processor checks if the baseline device temperature is substantially equal to the current device temperature. If not, the processor identifies a degradation issue within the system. In this case, the issue is that the cooling fans in a specific fan zone are operating at full speed, causing both the device temperature and downstream components temperature to increase.

Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores data associated with cooling fans and other components within the information handling system. The processor receives a first set of data for a baseline cooling condition within the information handling system, and a second set of data for a current cooling condition. The processor determines whether a first subset of data in the first set of data is substantially equal to a second subset of data in the second set of data. If so, the processor determines whether a baseline device temperature is substantially equal to a current device temperature. If not, the processor determines a first degradation issue within the information handling system based on cooling fans in a first fan zone are operating at full speed, and both a first device temperature increases and a downstream components temperature increase.
