Abstract

A system management controller may include a thermal table, a host agent, and a thermal control system. The thermal table may comprise identifying parameters for supported remote temperature sensors external to an information handling system. The host agent may be configured to receive temperature sensor data of a remote temperature sensor. The thermal control system may be configured to provide thermal control of at least one of the information handling system and a chassis in which it is disposed by determining, based on an entry of the thermal table associated with the remote temperature sensor, a local input identifier of the system management controller that defines a virtual thermal input of the information handling system associated with the remote temperature sensor, and controlling thermal properties of at least one of the information handling system and the chassis based on the virtual thermal input and a temperature value associated therewith.
