A fan control method for an information handling system is provided. The information handling system includes a device area and a fan for providing air flow to the device area. A plurality of devices is installed on the device area. The method includes the steps of: collecting thermal data of installed devices in the device area when booting up the information handling system; determining a threshold power of the installed devices and a discreteness level of the installed devices based on the thermal data; adjusting an initial speed of the fan based on the discreteness level; and calibrating the speed of the fan to obtain an optimized speed thereof based on the threshold power and the adjusted initial speed. A fan control apparatus for an information handling system is further provided.
