Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for validation and enforcement of the use of factory-provisioned environmental restrictions for the operation of certain hardware components of IHSs (Information Handling Systems). During factory provisioning of the IHS, a factory-signed certificate is uploaded to the IHS that identifies the factory-installed hardware of the IHS and any thermal restrictions on that hardware, such as operating temperature boundary requirements for the hardware. Upon deployment of the IHS, validation procedures use an inventory from the certificate to validate the detected IHS hardware as factory-installed. The validation procedures use the thermal restriction from the certificate to confirm the detected IHS hardware is configured to operate within the factory-provisioned thermal restrictions. The thermal restrictions from the certificate are also used to validate relocation of the IHS to different ambient environments.
