A computer program product stored in a computing device has a processor and a communication interface to determine cooling specifications of a remote housing. The computer program product includes a machine-readable storage medium and machine-readable program code, stored on the machine-readable storage medium. The machine readable program code includes instructions, which when executed, to cause the processor, via the communication interface set a speed of a fan within the remote housing, set an alarm condition for the fan within the remote housing, set a temperature threshold for the fan within the remote housing, capture the cooling specifications of the fan for the remote housing, the cooling specification including a measured temperature; and increase the speed of the fan if the temperature threshold is exceeded.

System and method of operating a cooling fan

A cooling fan including a fan module, a microcontroller, and a bus interface. The microcontroller is coupled to the fan module and is capable of adjusting a speed of the cooling fan based on a status of a second cooling fan and adjusting the speed of the cooling fan based on a temperature detected. The bus interface is in communication with the microcontroller, the second cooling fan, and the system to receive and output data.

Intelligent cooling fan

A method of programming behavior of at least one cooling fan includes installing the at least one cooling fan within a housing. Operating parameters of the at least one cooling fan are set. Operation of the at least one cooling fan within the housing is conducted based on the operating parameters. The operating parameters of the at least one cooling fan are captured if the operating parameters result in adequate cooling within the housing by the at least one cooling fan.
