Abstract
Systems and methods provide thermal monitoring during updates to firmware used by managed hardware of an Information Handling System (IHS). A remote access controller of the IHS, that operates separate from CPUs of the IHS, initiates a firmware update for a hardware component via a bus mastered by the remote access controller. Except for transmissions in support of the firmware update, communications on the bus are blocked. While communications on the bus are blocked, a request is detected for transmission of a portion of the firmware update to the hardware component. A time is determined for responding to the request. Prior to the time for responding, a second of the hardware components of the IHS that shares the bus mastered by the remote access controller is polled for thermal data. During the firmware update of the hardware component, closed-loop cooling of the IHS is provided using the thermal data.
